Analysis of To Bind Us Evermore



A Rhyme to end
Each chosen line
Conjoined to those
Before

Each couplet
Like a stair step
Each stanza
Something more

The sound that’s made
Betrothes at once
All foreign and
Obscure

The glue within
Our spoken word
To bind us
Evermore

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
