Comment: This is a short poem of four lines using the meter 6-8. The author displays the
power of the Nm poetry with the perfect choices of her rich vocabulary. The duet
sharing the radical thy water (mt nc) is beautiful, normally or is
used with SIGNIFIC (din = mt face, surface) and the PHONETICs (mt) or
(mt).Both 8-lines show a perfect balance 4-4, essence of the Nm poetry:

Comment: This poem of eight lines of seven glyphs (tht ngn bt c) shows the authors bitter
