Night Blindness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHIJEKLMNOPQE EJEEE| Beneath any common belief | A |
| lies the unspoken occluded torn | B |
| way we proceed On the beach | C |
| we were washed clean by transverse | D |
| waves All day long on these | E |
| two lanes gulls let clams and other | F |
| mollusks drop from their beaks | E |
| the animals raw inside | G |
| At first black sinew held fast | H |
| the hinge on each shattered | I |
| calcareous shell Then we | J |
| were driving between dunes | E |
| riding time on a glacier carved | K |
| landscape out to Race Point | L |
| much as a word travels through | M |
| the sensorial inner ear to the cranial | N |
| space Now satellites transmit | O |
| the originating explosion traced | P |
| in the fossil radiation an echo | Q |
| of singularity carried on rip tides | E |
| of electromagnetic waves | E |
| carrying forth the broken symmetry | J |
| And no rain in weeks | E |
| A chalky road illuminates | E |
| a place | E |
