The End Of The Weekend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAA CADADC EEEEEEA AFEFEG| A dying firelight slides along the quirt | A |
| Of the cast iron cowboy where he leans | B |
| Against my father's books The lariat | A |
| Whirls into darkness My girl in skin tight jeans | B |
| Fingers a page of Captain Marriat | A |
| Inviting insolent shadows to her shirt | A |
| - | |
| We rise together to the second floor | C |
| Outside across the lake an endless wind | A |
| Whips against the headstones of the dead and wails | D |
| In the trees for all who have and have not sinned | A |
| She rubs against me and I feel her nails | D |
| Although we are alone I lock the door | C |
| - | |
| The eventual shapes of all our formless prayers | E |
| This dark this cabin of loose imaginings | E |
| Wind lip lake everything awaits | E |
| The slow unloosening of her underthings | E |
| And then the noise Something is dropped It grates | E |
| against the attic beams I climb the stairs | E |
| Armed with a belt | A |
| - | |
| A long magnesium shaft | A |
| Of moonlight from the dormer cuts a path | F |
| Among the shattered skeletons of mice | E |
| A great black presence beats its wings in wrath | F |
| Above the boneyard burn its golden eyes | E |
| Some small grey fur is pulsing in its grip | G |
