Words
The sentence's skeletal structure
dense or spongy form,
body of work compact and cancellous
distinguished by connective tissue.
Elasticity of words derived
from such organic substances
as definition and nuance. Language
contains nerve tissues and blood vessels.
Imagination lend words
strength by organic nourishment.
The compact and hardest of all words
sheathed by a vascular, fibrous membrane.
The mineral matter in words may be deficient,
and words bend under the weight of meaning.
In poorly made sentences,
osteoporosis may occur and immobility,
brittleness, reduction of height result.
The marrow of a word may thin
and the body of work stand crooked.
