“Chance of Fate” is a paired-poem entry (“Cadence Dual”) that traces desire the way a pulse traces a wire: repeating, escalating, impossible to ignore. The first piece leans into baroque, incantatory diction—heavy alliteration, heat-language, and infernal imagery—where craving becomes both devotion and dare. It moves from morning-after restraint into compulsion, framing intimacy as a kind of chosen captivity: not weakness, but surrender as ritua.
