Water and Time

It’s pentatonic.

A fishing line stretches

From me, through the minutes,

To you. It glows.

Will it hold?

I steel myself for its breaking.

I’m Poseidon, you’re Chronos -

Both doomed by Prophecy,

Yet neither of us the cynosure.

A pentatonic amulet

From me, through sweet minutes, to you.
