Jaguar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDE FGHIJKLDDMNO PQDDRJSTAUV| Nasal intonations of light | A |
| and clicking tongues | B |
| publicity of windows | C |
| stoning me with pent up cries | D |
| smells of abattoirs | D |
| smells of long dead meat | E |
| - | |
| Some day end | F |
| while the sand is yet cozy as a blanket | G |
| off the warm body of a squaw | H |
| and the jaguars are out to kill | I |
| with a blue black night coming on | J |
| and a painted cloud | K |
| stalking the first star | L |
| I shall go alone into the Silence | D |
| the coiled Silence | D |
| where a cry can run only a little way | M |
| and waver and dwindle | N |
| and be lost | O |
| - | |
| And there | P |
| where tiny antlers clinch and strain | Q |
| as life grapples in a million avid points | D |
| and threshing things | D |
| strike and die | R |
| letting their hate live on | J |
| in the spreading purple of a wound | S |
| I too | T |
| will make covert of a crevice in the night | A |
| and turn and watch | U |
| nose at the cleft's edge | V |
