O Breath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCACDCEFGHIH| Beneath that loved and celebrated breast | A |
| silent bored really blindly veined | A |
| grieves maybe lives and lets | B |
| live passes bets | B |
| something moving but invisibly | C |
| and with what clamor why restrained | A |
| I cannot fathom even a ripple | C |
| See the thin flying of nine black hairs | D |
| four around one five the other nipple | C |
| flying almost intolerably on your own breath | E |
| Equivocal but what we have in common's bound to be there | F |
| whatever we must own equivalents for | G |
| something that maybe I could bargain with | H |
| and make a separate peace beneath | I |
| within if never with | H |
