Triolet

Her teeth were only accidental stars with a talent for squad drill.”
—T. S. Eliot.


HER teeth were accidental stars
With a talent for squad drill;
The Pleiades, Orion, Mars—
Her teeth were accidental stars,
Assured celestial corporal’s bars,
So straight they stood, and still.
Her teeth were accidental stars
With a talent for squad drill.
