In A Space

In a space from amber red
And white the line that's crossed
He from the east
She from the south
Both ensconced in steel

In a space he looked away
and missed oncoming fate
freight train speed
untamed inertia
Combustion mixed with impact

No need to even wonder why,
That in a space she killed him

In a space the rainbow bit
And fast was sunk the catch
unintended target
found by miscast line
But allure's a lure to all

In a space the reflex jerk
And fast the reel was spun
twenty pound test
makes the grade
and the distance disappears

Never caring to wonder why
That in a space he was caught

In a space the treasure slipped
And slid through tiny flaw
the hold made fast
with holes aplenty
the err that catches air

In a space she slips from he
And drops between the steel
a liquid's path
becomes a bar
a foot's one step too far

Too late to even wonder why
That in a space I lost you
