Saint Judas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGEFH| When I went out to kill myself I caught | A |
| A pack of hoodlums beating up a man | B |
| Running to spare his suffering I forgot | A |
| My name my number how my day began | B |
| How soldiers milled around the garden stone | C |
| And sang amusing songs how all that day | D |
| Their javelins measured crowds how I alone | C |
| Bargained the proper coins and slipped away | D |
| - | |
| Banished from heaven I found this victim beaten | E |
| Stripped kneed and left to cry Dropping my rope | F |
| Aside I ran ignored the uniforms | G |
| Then I remembered bread my flesh had eaten | E |
| The kiss that ate my flesh Flayed without hope | F |
| I held the man for nothing in my arms | H |
