Sunlight sunken seas
Two and too, by trees

Lately I dream
In dynasties

How one (small?) act
Or lack thereof
(Which we know, is)
Can shape a stream
Seen only in rewind
Histories theme

Tangled tomes
Time's tombs

Or, just as easily
of ripples and star signs
There may be none

We guess, draw maps
Chart rivers to see
But still, lives blink
In the compass of war
And chance, and hope
Tides in time

Clock hands cross
Kiss across the seconds
And spin on
