no longer calm and heal her/
if she won’t listen.

I have such great news /
to share, but you probably /

as me so I am in awe/
of straight common sense.

[noun, 1 syllable]][verb, 1 syllable] to the [adjective, 1 syllable][noun, 1 syllable], /

you’ll find [noun, 3 syllables].”

howling teeth of a lightning /
storm. Power. Freedom.

Feeling guilty for/
thinking, not doing something/
