"Tidemarks Demystified"

singlehandedness the grab match
hajj of wry phenolic hunger
even to this rigid chamber
even in this benthic dragging

*tidy to bear, for now, the candle
gathered of marmoreal slag
door that rocks with sonorous flood knock
hand whose deft *prestige won't glisten

ever though borne inchmeal closer
always with some stingy rustle


Wordsquare ghazal.
