A Blinding Refrain

Tuning letters like strings

the words are reformed

The rhyme and the meter

the rhythm reborn

 

Each vowel and each consonant

together in line

No commas or periods

to block or confine

 

The meaning inherent

and left unexplained

restated once over

a blinding refrain

 

To put in the file

the future in bold

the verses in couplets

—the reading on hold

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
