it’s strange
this attraction
pulls me towards your core
a love that’s gravitational
keeps me ever near you
and yet distant
alone

Prompt

Form: Eintou

The Eintou is a septet—a stanza of seven lines.
In these lines, there is a cycle, a flow of syllables or words that rises and ebbs.

It is an African American poetry form consisting of seven lines, totaling 32 syllables or words. The Eintou developed as a means for African American poetic forms to take their place in the forefront of American poetry.

The 2-4-6-8-6-4-2 structure of the Eintou is crucial to African-American philosophy.
Life is a cycle. Everything returns to that from which it originates.
