     :to be captain of



               light

               as
     of paper

     or coal

     incomplete


               and used as

a large container for
several openings –


                         brilliant red flowers

                         (a boat)

work vb :

     to convert into simpler form

          the body —

               


     a single sound
          aside

               —


     one that is


worth

               breathing
     
                    disaster
