Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFAGHH HHIHJKLHAAH MMMNMAONMHM MPHQRSTUVWX| How shall my animal | A |
| Whose wizard shape I trace in the cavernous skull | A |
| Vessel of abscesses and exultation's shell | B |
| Endure burial under the spelling wall | C |
| The invoked shrouding veil at the cap of the face | D |
| Who should be furious | E |
| Drunk as a vineyard snail flailed like an octopus | F |
| Roaring crawling quarrel | A |
| With the outside weathers | G |
| The natural circle of the discovered skies | H |
| Draw down to its weird eyes | H |
| - | |
| How shall it magnetize | H |
| Towards the studded male in a bent midnight blaze | H |
| That melts the lionhead's heel and horseshoe of the heart | I |
| A brute land in the cool top of the country days | H |
| To trot with a loud mate the haybeds of a mile | J |
| Love and labour and kill | K |
| In quick sweet cruel light till the locked ground sprout | L |
| The black burst sea rejoice | H |
| The bowels turn turtle | A |
| Claw of the crabbed veins squeeze from each red particle | A |
| The parched and raging voice | H |
| - | |
| Fishermen of mermen | M |
| Creep and harp on the tide sinking their charmed bent pin | M |
| With bridebait of gold bread I with a living skein | M |
| Tongue and ear in the thread angle the temple bound | N |
| Curl locked and animal cavepools of spells and bone | M |
| Trace out a tentacle | A |
| Nailed with an open eye in the bowl of wounds and weed | O |
| To clasp my fury on ground | N |
| And clap its great blood down | M |
| Never shall beast be born to atlas the few seas | H |
| Or poise the day on a horn | M |
| - | |
| Sigh long clay cold lie shorn | M |
| Cast high stunned on gilled stone sly scissors ground in frost | P |
| Clack through the thicket of strength love hewn in pillars drops | H |
| With carved bird saint and suns the wrackspiked maiden mouth | Q |
| Lops as a bush plumed with flames the rant of the fierce eye | R |
| Clips short the gesture of breath | S |
| Die in red feathers when the flying heaven's cut | T |
| And roll with the knocked earth | U |
| Lie dry rest robbed my beast | V |
| You have kicked from a dark den leaped up the whinnying light | W |
| And dug your grave in my breast | X |
