Nocturne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHGIIJKLBMN| Indigo bulb of darkness | A |
| Punctured by needle lights | B |
| Through a fissure of brick canyon shutting out stars | C |
| And a sliver of moon | D |
| Spigoting two high windows over the West river | E |
| - | |
| Boy I met to night | F |
| Your eyes are two red glowing arcs shifting with my vision | G |
| They reflect as in a fading proof | H |
| The deadened eyes of a woman | G |
| And your shed virginity | I |
| Light as the withered pod of a sweet pea | I |
| Moist and fragrant | J |
| Blows against my soul | K |
| What are you to me boy | L |
| That I who have passed so many lights | B |
| Should carry your eyes | M |
| Like swinging lanterns | N |
