A CROSS  

 

1

extra splutter lit goes

rallies manage

only sense wounded adjusts

 

no heat's said calm

exhaustion to frontal

and serially abstraction

 

includes sooner

wasn't year

isn't prank

 

burner which friction by

back that time leaves

when any while littered

 
 

2

back-burner includes no extra

heat's splutter

sooner said lit

 

when that which wasn't

calm goes

exhaustion rallies

 

any time of year to manage

while friction isn't

frontal only

 

littered leaves by prank and

sense serially wounded

abstraction adjusts
