Chain link hooked around
that anchor pulling him down
caught by surprise
temporarily blind
no recollection of falling

It tugs hard enough long enough where the link and skin become one
where the chain and bone are the same

He does the same

his metal blood yearns for the warmth
so in search that anchor settles down

slithers upon shore and unassuming male and female succumb
they're all the same with the skin link and bone chain

The cycle stays the same
