Shutter Ended

end and ending,
sleek and slither
and blink
chatter shutter,
clack clack
in the black damp dry
in the sharp metal clink
in the box

rattle shutter slat
click click
my ear
and heavy eye

green and yellow as day ends
as night comes
as day ends

heart beat, a slow ache beat
empty and gripping
empty and aching
empty and ending

and shatter steel
click slice
fragment of time

framed
shutter framed
and stolen

ended
