A Twohanded Cut

like                    a novel’s arc
five packets                dance
hand on              over hand:
this phase is rising

                                     action;
it sets the           climax out:
the packets stretch

                           a panorama
acrobatic!—                   then,
the closer                          or
the denouement

                   recentres
all loose                         ends.
