Early Occult Memory Systems Of The Lower Midwest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOP QRSTUVWX

In his fifth year the son deep in the backseatA
of his father's Ford and the mysteriumB
of time holds time in memory with wordsC
night this night on the way to a stalled rig southD
of Kiowa Creek where the plains wind stacksE
the skeletons of weeds on barbed wire fencesF
and rattles the battered DeKalb sign to makeG
the child think of time in its passing of deathH
-
Cattle stare at flat bed haulers gunning clumpsI
of black smoke and lugging damaged drill pipeJ
up the gullied mud hollowed road Road thisK
road Roustabouts shouting from the crow's nestL
float like Ascension angels on a ring of lightsM
Chokecherries gouge the purpled sky cloudN
swags running the moon under and starlightO
rains across the Ford's blue hood Blue this blueP
-
Later where black flies haunt the mud tankQ
the boy walks along the pipe rack draggingR
a stick across the hollow ends to make a kindS
of music and the creek throbs with frog songsT
locusts the rasp of tree limbs blown and scatteredU
The great horse people his father these soundsV
these shapes saved from time's dark creek as the carW
moves across the moving earth world this worldX
