Watch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKALMHNOMPQ FR| A | |
| Watching it closely respecting its mystery | B |
| is the note you've pinned above this heavy Dutch table | C |
| that takes the light weight of what you work at | D |
| coaxing the seen and any mystery it might secrete | E |
| into words that mightn't fall too far short might let you | F |
| hear how the hum of bees in the pink fuchsia | G |
| and among the buttercups and fat blackberries | H |
| is echoed by that deep swissshhh sound that is | I |
| your own blood coursing its steady laps | J |
| and speaking in beats to the drum of your left ear | K |
| A | |
| When you watch the way the sycamore leaf curls | L |
| browns dries and drops from the branch it's lived on | M |
| since spring to be blown by a soundless breeze | H |
| along the seed heads of the uncut grass then | N |
| the mystery that is its movement the movement | O |
| that is from seed to leaf shard and so on | M |
| to fructive dust holds still an instant gives a glimpse | P |
| of something that quickens away from language | Q |
| into the riddling bustle of just the actual as you | F |
| grab at it and it disappears again again unsaid | R |
