| 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 |
