Rhyme Scheme: ABABCADECDDACDFAD GDGDHGDIHDDJDIDGI KLMLNOPQAHRSTUVWUA saint about to fall | A |
The stained flats of heaven hit and razed | B |
To the kissed kite hems of his shawl | A |
On the last street wave praised | B |
The unwinding song by rock | C |
Of the woven wall | A |
Of his father's house in the sands | D |
The vanishing of the musical ship work and the chucked bells | E |
The wound down cough of the blood counting clock | C |
Behind a face of hands | D |
On the angelic etna of the last whirring featherlands | D |
Wind heeled foot in the hole of a fireball | A |
Hymned his shrivelling flock | C |
On the last rick's tip by spilled wine wells | D |
Sang heaven hungry and the quick | F |
Cut Christbread spitting vinegar and all | A |
The mazes of his praise and envious tongue were worked in flames and shells | D |
- | |
Glory cracked like a flea | G |
The sun leaved holy candlewoods | D |
Drivelled down to one singeing tree | G |
With a stub of black buds | D |
The sweet fish gilled boats bringing blood | H |
Lurched through a scuttled sea | G |
With a hold of leeches and straws | D |
Heaven fell with his fall and one crocked bell beat the left air | I |
O wake in me in my house in the mud | H |
Of the crotch of the squawking shores | D |
Flicked from the carbolic city puzzle in a bed of sores | D |
The scudding base of the familiar sky | J |
The lofty roots of the clouds | D |
From an odd room in a split house stare | I |
Milk in your mouth at the sour floods | D |
That bury the sweet street slowly see | G |
The skull of the earth is barbed with a war of burning brains and hair | I |
- | |
Strike in the time bomb town | K |
Raise the live rafters of the eardrum | L |
Throw your fear a parcel of stone | M |
Through the dark asylum | L |
Lapped among herods wail | N |
As their blade marches in | O |
That the eyes are already murdered | P |
The stocked heart is forced and agony has another mouth to feed | Q |
O wake to see after a noble fall | A |
The old mud hatch again the horrid | H |
Woe drip from the dishrag hands and the pressed sponge of the forehead | R |
The breath draw back like a bolt through white oil | S |
And a stranger enter like iron | T |
Cry joy that hits witchlike midwife second | U |
Bullies into rough seas you so gentle | V |
And makes with a flick of the thumb and sun | W |
A thundering bullring of your silent and girl circled island | U |
