The Côte is an invented form that is constructed of uneven couplets.
It is attributed to Johnn Schroeder and found at Poetry Base. Why it carries the name Côte, which is French for coast, I have yet to figure out.
The Côte is: stanzaic, it may be written in any number of couplets.
structured as an uneven couplet, L1 being a single imperative verb, L2 is a glossing or expansion of L1.

Dream,
exploring the seascape of the mind.

tapping first the soul and then the skill.
