You turned the tap on
You raised the cup
The particles you’d spoken
Quickly edging up
Tantalizingly close
To the final line
A dash of love; A dash of trust
A dash of wonderous time
My glass was full up
There was no more room
It was embodied in the promises
You said would come soon
The mix of water and strength
Made time go so fast
The minerals began to settle
But you picked up my glass


And spilled it.
