Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKKLM| Even when she walks she seems to dance | A |
| Her garments writhe and glisten like long snakes | B |

| Like both the desert and the desert sky | E |
| insensible to human suffering | F |

| where diamonds gold and steel dissolve into one light | K |
| shining forever useless as a star | L |
| the sterile woman s icy majesty | M |
