Bora Ring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFCG CHIJ KLMNThe song is gone the dance | A |
is secret with the dancers in the earth | B |
the ritual useless and the tribal story | C |
lost in an alien tale | D |
- | |
Only the grass stands up | E |
to mark the dancing ring the apple gums | F |
posture and mime a past corroboree | C |
murmur a broken chant | G |
- | |
The hunter is gone the spear | C |
is splintered underground the painted bodies | H |
a dream the world breathed sleeping and forgot | I |
The nomad feet are still | J |
- | |
Only the rider's heart | K |
halts at a sightless shadow an unsaid word | L |
that fastens in the blood of the ancient curse | M |
the fear as old as Cain | N |
