Long and Short of Snit

I swear
I am a few cares
Away from a tear
Hamstringing my
Self a long way

The short stay
Was not the kind
Of kind that I stare for

Ringing, ringing, I am bringing my
Self along for another torn a
Part of a word

Emphasis dined
On the entrails of ekphrasis
All words are digested reactions
To the bowels of the sentence
That is the case 

For the eponymous case
A titular tendentious filament
Filing paperwork to light
The light's bulb
With another tulip purple
Granted by the dormant read
