| Regard the capture here Janus faced | B |
| As double as the hands that twist this glass | C |
| Such eves at search or rest you cannot see | D |
| Reciting pain or glee how can you bear | E |
| - | |
| Twin shadowed halves the breaking second holds t | D |
| In each the skin alone and so it is | F |
| I crust a plate of vibrant mercury | D |
| Borne cleft to you and brother in the half | G |
| - | |
| Inquire this much exacting fragment smile | H |
| Its drums and darkest blowing leaves ignore | I |
| Defer though revocation of the tears | J |
| That yield attendance to one crucial sign | K |
| - | |
| Look steadily how the wind feasts and spins | L |
| The brain's disk shivered against lust Then watch | M |
| While darkness like an ape's face falls away | N |
| And gradually white buildings answer day | N |
| - | |
| Let the same nameless gulf beleaguer us | O |
| Alike suspend us from atrocious sums | P |
| Built floor by floor on shafts of steel that grant | Q |
| The plummet heart like Absalom no stream | R |
| - | |
| The highest tower let her ribs palisade | S |
| Wrenched gold of Nineveh yet leave the tower | T |
| The bridge swings over salvage beyond wharves | P |
| A wind abides the ensign of your will | U |
| - | |
| In alternating bells have you not heard | V |
| All hours clapped dense into a single stride | W |
| Forgive me for an echo of these things | P |
| And let us walk through time with equal pride | W |
