In short list

As soul binds

Where that and this
Embrace fine list.


Joy in sure smile
Can seed good cheer
As play now styles
A fondness here.

No need to play

To string fine say

Stripping away
The padding
To gist,
Crux

No luck

The lizard is wandering silently to its food

The light is the obstinate demand of the ant-hill
Food is the output gist of the life's death!
