No answer

He
said
a prayer
asking for 
the waiting not to 
be long, but he had no return.

(Found Poetry Review Oulipost 4 asked of us to write a Fib with a variation that was so hard to write I failed it, so I'm sticking to the regular Fib, couting syllables in honor of the math in the challenge.)
