Rhyme Scheme: AB CDEA F GHIJ K LMNO P QRN

My shadow said to meA
what is the matterB
-
-
Isn't the moon warmC
enough for youD
why do you needE
the blanket of another bodyA
-
-
Whose kiss is mossF
-
-
Around the picnic tablesG
The bright pink hands held sandwichesH
crumbled by distance Flies crawlI
over the sweet instantJ
-
-
You know what is in these blanketsK
-
-
The trees outside are bending withL
children shooting guns LeaveM
them alone They are playingN
games of their ownO
-
-
I give water I give clean crustsP
-
-
Aren't there enough wordsQ
flowing in your veinsR
to keep you goingN
