Triolet.

      "density's child"

merch, interim mishmash
maze without abating
   whiplash conclave
      nameless plagues
the crunch beachhead · on the stained cusp

ditch problems of plenty
for problems dearth cobbles
   symbols splinter
      holey sieve
doomscroll darkens · the dry plain

things not solved by headscratch
scribble inane plainsong
   puzzle pieceswitch
      Titanic
chaise longue · guillontine rust

boredom's legions Bijoux
the bent lamp of Hamlin
