mAnSoNg

♪a rhymed, mirrored double octet♪
 
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh …” (Genesis 2:22)
 
§
these
l y r i c s
are  for you
bone of my bones
n e v e r   h a s   a man
in   the  earth  or  heavens
sung  a  song  like  this  before
you're  my  eve  and  i  your  adam
i  am  going  to  love  you,  madam,
i'm   n o t   lonesome  anymore
twenty-fours  by  sevens
matrimonial    p l a n
with pheromones
i  can  chew
physics
tease
§
please
v  i  s  i  t
my  chateaux
where saxophones
thrill  the  isle  of  man
with  orchestral  presence
scattered  on  the  garden  floor
eloquence  i   s c a r c e   can   fathom
ne'er by chance and ne’er at random
as   m y   e v e - n i n g   i  a d o r e
in  my  Father's  p r e s e n c e
all   t h e   b e s t   i   c a n
leaves me yet prone
as  earth's  true
l i m i t s
freeze

In this version, you must read along the colour lines to unravel the text, because the two octets are linearly intertwined.
