Tiananmen “6 x 4” sonnets contain 14 lines:

6 lines of 4 words

4 lines of 6 words

4 lines of 4 words

they are built to evade algorithmic censorship

of the numbers 6, 4, 89,

and other references to

Dead air in air

The anniversary of language

holds you back against

bucolic dreaming, down stream

from here is running

a miraculous color, elegy

bursts like a ribbon in air

Thinking again of the Square today

Bold sky, passing episodes of cloud

Vegetation mutters in the Far West

A column of ghosts

going violet over time

Familiar song looping overhead

Lines pressed in air
