for an answer i will pray (villanelle experiment)
A1bA2
for an answer I will pray
down in the surplus of your blooms
swarm your lullabies away
abA1
in the silence of the day
between the dreams of the loons
for an answer i will pray
abA2
and if the fear ever gets away
into the fold between your dooms
swarm your lullabies away
abA1
i have longed for some mistake
that will wither just as soon
for an answer i will pray
abA2
and for a prayer i might say
something weird under the moon
swarm your lullabies away
abA1
if the bitter end decays
faintly above the nightmare fuels
for an answer i will pray
abA1A2
sweetly sick and dearly gray
ten percent of love is noon
for an answer i will pray
swarm your lullabies away
