The Reservoir

                                                                                  The Reservoir

It was supposed to be 

but every day 

is a new skeleton 

a place to dip my toes into the 

pool of ashes

It may come alive again

we may make it dance 

with our bullet tongues

every new damn day 

is a returning ghost

some

"Once upon a wreck-tangled rope

at the bottom of SpongeBob Ocean"

drowning in liquid devastation

Maybe, 

once upon a time.

It's seemingly all in square (K)nots 

I'm more likely to be the reincarnation of Mr. Magoo

but I know somehow,

 it will all blindly work out

probably

 just by dumb luck.

I love the reference to spongebob and Mr Magoo to make your point.

We do tend to repeat our mistakes but every so often ate works in our fVOR.

can "once upon a time" become "happily ever after"?
What a war it is to get there sometimes...
my square knots always became granny knots instead...and then untied themselves.
love does that...
the "liquid devastation" the tears...

I like the last stanza.....we cannot force it, steer it...love will work out as it will, if it will...
and it may feel like dumb luck.
