 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.

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?
