Early Occult Memory Systems Of The Lower Midwest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOP QRSTUVWXIn his fifth year the son deep in the backseat | A |
of his father's Ford and the mysterium | B |
of time holds time in memory with words | C |
night this night on the way to a stalled rig south | D |
of Kiowa Creek where the plains wind stacks | E |
the skeletons of weeds on barbed wire fences | F |
and rattles the battered DeKalb sign to make | G |
the child think of time in its passing of death | H |
- | |
Cattle stare at flat bed haulers gunning clumps | I |
of black smoke and lugging damaged drill pipe | J |
up the gullied mud hollowed road Road this | K |
road Roustabouts shouting from the crow's nest | L |
float like Ascension angels on a ring of lights | M |
Chokecherries gouge the purpled sky cloud | N |
swags running the moon under and starlight | O |
rains across the Ford's blue hood Blue this blue | P |
- | |
Later where black flies haunt the mud tank | Q |
the boy walks along the pipe rack dragging | R |
a stick across the hollow ends to make a kind | S |
of music and the creek throbs with frog songs | T |
locusts the rasp of tree limbs blown and scattered | U |
The great horse people his father these sounds | V |
these shapes saved from time's dark creek as the car | W |
moves across the moving earth world this world | X |
