An Exploded Sestina
Myrmurs

Post-plague reading, reassembling the Myrmidons — a selection of ant troops/tropes
winter is a virus that July hosts in her blue moon software
jostling syllables not like not at all like collagelision
each word
is an individual fruit
with her own seedthe best tasting
are grown wild
For “fruit” I almost read “form”. And so is effected a “collage & elision” as I almost read “jousting” for “jostling”. Almost. At most.
And so for day 1444
