Clocks

Fruits are given by trees that live,

Not by the wishful mind, which adorns

 Itself with ashen flowers

 From the abyss within.

How many kingdoms in minds and in things

Your imagination has carved! That many

 You've lost, pre-dethroned,

Without ever having them.

Against great opposition you cannot

Create more than doomed intentions!

 Abdicate and be

 King of yourself.
