An evocative poem by Dr Pragya, a tribute to an elder, exclusively for Different Truths.

My antique watch stopped ticking today
I gently pat its face 
as always
Hope it breathes again
I repeat in anxiety and dismay
Faster this time
Fear looming over 
Gripping me harder
Freezing me inside
I tried to rescue her
But I lost my granny once again.
