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
