Focus

an
essential focus
   self-analysis
 of the
   instinctive urge

 a contrast so stark
explicit
   invisible
as
explosive
  exploits are portrayed

 a mantle
  of a perogative
whipped
 manipulated
yet so delicate
   in self-satisfaction

self-irony
  to the fore
   sensibility
so friable
lacking solidity
as
  fluidity surfaces
the immediacy
  pauses &contrasts
as formal
   tension
is magnified

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
