The Stratford Road
no longer goes
through the village
where time stands still.
In Alderminster, by the Stour,
the by-passed hour
of ten to three is
what the hands still show.
The road is faster now
than years ago
when the clockwork
stopped for good.
You wonder, as you speed
by the village, if this timeless clock
will one day be mended,
or stay - a moment of history suspended -
in the village where time stands still?
