Sheathbound Bloom

Kranz cramps heat—sheath seals, seeds seethe
   Turgor swells, culms quake
    Veins pulse, bundle hums
     Carbon snaps, stomata whisper
      Drought yields, husks harden
   
Grains glitter, spine bends
   Kranz folds, sheath tightens
 Seeds bristle, stomata sigh
   Dormancy waits, Kranz cramps heat—sheath seals, seeds seethe
