I am so not a poet.

[yukixue]

He stands amid a sea
Alone with a ball of twine
       casting.

One, and another, and another
       and:
Hoping one may catch so he may have
       a hold,
               Again

But none will catch
And none will hold
And then he is lost;

Inspired by Whitman's A Noiseless Patient Spider with post-OoTP Remus in mind.
