Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GAAHIJ KLMNNO| When I knew it was raining | A |
| Winter in decline I was tired | B |
| You in your soaked shirt diffused | C |
| into the western sky bulging with clouds | D |
| speeding cars a few feet away | E |
| why would they not slow down | F |
| - | |
| Though afternoon a slip of moon | G |
| busied itself with rising | A |
| and it had to mean something | A |
| If only the moon were not out | H |
| You shoveled the crushed tortoise | I |
| and her eggs off the highway into the dirt | J |
| - | |
| Those soft white eggs | K |
| This is how I love you | L |
| drenched with Florida rain | M |
| and looking like hell | N |
| Florida itself a hell | N |
| the moonlit rain a rain of fire | O |
