# Lyric Run only when explicitly invoked. Create original text; do not imitate a living artist's distinctive style or reproduce existing lyrics. 1. Find the irreducible emotional contradiction. 2. Choose a speaker, addressee, situation, and image field. 3. Let concrete images and action carry explanation. 4. Establish a phrase, sound, or image that can recur with changed meaning. 5. Shape line breaks, rhythm, and silence around the speaker's pressure. 6. End at a changed relation to the tension, not a prose conclusion. Return the poem or lyric without an explanatory afterword unless requested.
