Hullo. This was originally written for 's weekly poetry contest during National Poetry Month 2014, and it coincides with the Word of the Day from Friday 18 April 2014, "dyad" (definition below). And ah, it seems I've made it about River and the Doctor unconsciously. So there you go. I guess sometimes you just can't tame that wild OTP, eh?

And who says you need to? Sorry it's sort of short.

(according to DDC) dyad: a group of two; couple; pair.


They drifted in the amorphous atmosphere
As if unaware of the time.
In the ungodly hours of the day,
In the age of dream-like shine

The dyad craned their slender necks,
And withdrew from the land.
Blood and bones and flesh aside,
Linearity was a thinning strand.

Out there in Space, amid a battle of sorts,
Surely Heaven must somewhere dwell:
Indistinct and indefinite and charitably veiled;
The pair was witness as it fell.


Thank you for visiting.
