Bora Ring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFCG CHIJ KLMN

The song is gone the danceA
is secret with the dancers in the earthB
the ritual useless and the tribal storyC
lost in an alien taleD
-
Only the grass stands upE
to mark the dancing ring the apple gumsF
posture and mime a past corroboreeC
murmur a broken chantG
-
The hunter is gone the spearC
is splintered underground the painted bodiesH
a dream the world breathed sleeping and forgotI
The nomad feet are stillJ
-
Only the rider's heartK
halts at a sightless shadow an unsaid wordL
that fastens in the blood of the ancient curseM
the fear as old as CainN
