Etude 2 - Futurist Sestina

At least, this comes from a futurist sestina, which turned out to be dull because we weren't thinking far enough outside the box. I'll restrict myself to the phrases Russ chose, because I like them.

I think it was Carla Harryman who used three word titles, in I don't remember which book, in this format: "one. two. three." I can do without that punctuation, but I'd like to try some three word lines and see what it does.

x y z

wrong judgment shatter
pause crumpled before
lie fell green
you will pass
arrow judgment crimson
ball overtakes sky
wrong language forgotten
pierces came sorrow
wholesome trash fell

before happiness sorrow
Lord shatter myself
