Structure a poem around a central reversal or turn.

Before state: {{before}}
After state: {{after}}
Catalyst for reversal: {{catalyst}}

Reversal structures:

**Chiasmic:** Mirror structure, second half inverts first
**Volta-centered:** Build to turn, develop after
**Revelation:** Truth that changes everything
**Time reversal:** Move backward through events
**Perspective flip:** Same scene, different eyes

Draft a reversal poem:

1. Establish the before clearly
2. Create tension or anticipation
3. Execute the reversal precisely
4. Develop the after
5. Let the reversal resonate

The reversal should feel both surprising and inevitable.

Annotate where the turn occurs and how it was prepared.
