Cover to cover
Blood running between the lines,
And lies like pollen
Spread from life to love and back.
Brother, grant the love we lacked.
Stretching my poetry muscles with some short pieces. A tanka, for the Skinnywords prompt to sum up a book in a short poem.

Out of curiosity, is there supposed to be any specific relationship between the first 3 and the final 2 verses/lines?  I actually had to look up the form, and the poems are specifically divided by description but I didn't get a strong feel for why there is a division and if it should have a special relationship or quality.
