That's it exactly, except for the line breaks in stanza 2 and 4, but if you don't mind, I am going to keep your breaks because I like them better than mine. Thanks so much! I'm going to assume the stanzas were as follows, Larissa, they certainly can be fiddled. Doug Ramon Fernandez, tell me, if you know, the order of my words. This body, wholly holy, sings as best it can, lisping the mantra “sole.” Alone. Why did the singing stop, and why? No, I never broke an honest sweat, did I think the ocean would forget? In the horizon’s glance I see a wave rise, rise, rise and die, out of nowhere again, but why?
