A Mirrored Tetractys Poem
CSP: A Collection of Poems
: In Shatters by Sixteezkid


Why
do we
wound with words?
For once spoken,
shards may be removed, yet the gape still seethes.

Listen as the cuts penetrate our souls
down to the core
as we flinch
from their
sounds.

Author Notes
TETRACTYS, a poetic form invented by Ray Stebbing, is a five-line syllabic verse form. Each verse should express a complete thought in 20 syllables, with line counts: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10. If there are multiple stanzas, the even stanzas mirror the odds in line syllable counts.
