One day, you will awake from your covering

and that heart of yours will be totally mended,
and there will be no more burning within.
The owl, calling in the setting of the sun
and the deer path, all erased.
And there will be no more need for love
or lovers or fears of losing lovers
and there will be no more burning timbers
with which to light a new fire,
and there will be no more husbands or people
related to husbands, and there will be no more
tears or reason to shed your tears.

Answer:

Enjambment .

Step-by-step explanation:

The word enjambment is derived from the French word 'enjamber' which means to 'stride over' or 'go beyond'. In literature, enjambment type of poetry are those in which the poet moves on to the next line without any major pause or break.

The poets use this type of poetry to create a shift of one thought or an idea to another though and idea, to keep the readers intrigued.

The given extract is taken from Patricia Jabbeh Wesley's "One day". And the type of poetry that she has used in it is enjambment.
