Syllabically Constrained Freedom Couplets

Wed Apr 8 20:56:35 2009

What was this arid
desolation, flushing

at the work
of explanation with a cough. He

stood still time for these plants
to grow less impassive and he

slept, for still he floated in a tumult
of sounds, varying in strength,

leapt out towards the flare. You're as
white as the first winter finery.
