My Hero Bares His Nerves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBA DBEBF GHIHJ KBLBM| My hero bares his nerves along my wrist | A |
| That rules from wrist to shoulder | B |
| Unpacks the head that like a sleepy ghost | C |
| Leans on my mortal ruler | B |
| The proud spine spurning turn and twist | A |
| - | |
| And these poor nerves so wired to the skull | D |
| Ache on the lovelorn paper | B |
| I hug to love with my unruly scrawl | E |
| That utters all love hunger | B |
| And tells the page the empty ill | F |
| - | |
| My hero bares my side and sees his heart | G |
| Tread like a naked Venus | H |
| The beach of flesh and wind her bloodred plait | I |
| Stripping my loin of promise | H |
| He promises a secret heat | J |
| - | |
| He holds the wire from this box of nerves | K |
| Praising the mortal error | B |
| Of birth and death the two sad knaves of thieves | L |
| And the hunger's emperor | B |
| He pulls that chain the cistern moves | M |
