Chronos
(700 BC & 1933 AD)
tub-thumped these clouds
grey-framed skylights
gathering sky
corralled on coral
this ship’s figure-head
mouth open to speak
a foghorn
her bare breasted
Scylla & Charybdis
lighthouse lights
goat-legged beach-comber
wandering a lug-worm beach
avoid those places
where the sea-weed
water the father
earth the mother
false union
engendering an egg
waves breaking
their broken marriage
cyclical the sickle
ticking rocks to sand
time personified
