Long after the fight (24 syllables)
Long after the fight

Welter?
              I was.


My face flowed
                             when mashed,
blood          spilt
                     upon
   blue mats,


         spent
tulip
          that          dared
                   not          blush
  again.

24 syllables strung out in an odd pattern reflecting the wobble of a defeated welterweight (definition #3). Some alliteration: sp, bl.

Welter: 1. verb (literary): move in a turbulent fashion. "the streams foam and welter"; 2. noun: a large number of items in no order; a confused mass. "there's such a welter of conflicting rules"; 3. noun: short for welterweight (140 to 147 pounds or 63.5–67 kg).
