Thanks, i'm really new to poetry and i appreciate the explanation of the technique although that's not really where my gripes come from, do you have any recs for poems that use this kind of form?This is an example of a sestina, considered by some to be the most difficult poetic form. See how the end words cycle in a particular pattern in each stanza and are recapitulated in the closing three lines? That helps with the disorientating, static feel, and gives rise to effects like something "not a miracle" which seven lines later is a miracle. It also mirrors the poet's confusion of herself with the man on the balcony.
he bcame conscious and aware of this process of recovery
