Black & White Haiga August Challenge Part 2

 "broken clock" — Black & White Haiga August Challenge Part 2 Selection. 

broken clock—

grandpa rewinds it

to tick

.

broken clock—

woodworms roll out

boring dust

.

broken clock—

great-grandma asks

what time is it?

.

broken clock—

for keepsake the smell

of Briwax

.
