"Chronology" by Annette Goggins - Contest Entry

Chronology

by Annette Goggins 

So much depends
upon
 
the whims of
wayward
 
fate. Clotho
weaves the cloth
 
of eons, while
Lachesis pulls
 
the threads of
destiny.
 
If they are taut, then
tragedy.
 
If they are slack, then
levity.
 
Then with cosmic
scissors
 
Atropos slices
the lines, which
 
as before
drew us
 
inexorably
forward,
 
toward, an
inevitable end.
 
The promise
withdrawn.
 
Meanwhile, ever /
elusive
 
time, consigns our
consciousness,
to the
 
Abyss.
