Even When She Walks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKKLM| Even when she walks she seems to dance | A |
| Her garments writhe and glisten like long snakes | B |
| obedient to the rhythm of the wands | C |
| by which a fakir wakens them to grace | D |
| - | |
| Like both the desert and the desert sky | E |
| insensible to human suffering | F |
| and like the ocean s endless labyrinth | G |
| she shows her body with indifference | H |
| - | |
| Precious minerals are her polished eyes | I |
| and in her strange symbolic nature | J |
| angel and sphinx unite | K |
| where diamonds gold and steel dissolve into one light | K |
| shining forever useless as a star | L |
| the sterile woman s icy majesty | M |
