Analysis of Steps in Cope



Steps in Cope
Steps in the Steps
At night –
Little and less
To die:

Deadly revealing
Dream –
Backwardly killing
Glimpse…

Revivifying
Cut
Livingly dying
Blood

Soaking wet
In white –
Slow, just let it
Sprite!..

Let it in Darkness
Flow:
Time in the Harness
Grows,

Turns into Fathom’s
Hope –
Try it from now,
Cope!..
