The Barriers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF GHIJ KJKL| Between the muscle and the hammer head | A |
| The liquor and the veinous leaf it feeds | B |
| Between the vision and the throne of God | C |
| The promise and the stillborn shrouded words | D |
| - | |
| Between the hope that flies the fear that dives | E |
| The beak of hawk the pretty breast of wren | F |
| Between the husk that dries the seed that thrives | E |
| The line that flames and that which leaves the pen | F |
| - | |
| Stand blood its channel and the broken cross | G |
| The bed unslept in and the worn down shoe | H |
| The fruit of pity and the breast of Christ | I |
| And all the bones kissed clean beneath the sea | J |
| - | |
| And would you say it even if you could | K |
| Smash cage and let the weary words fly free | J |
| Might that not let the tiger from the wood | K |
| And madness ride across the morning sky | L |
