Between Going And Coming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCB DE BB BF GB HI BB

Between going and stayingA
the day waversB
in love with its own transparencyB
The circular afternoon is now a bayC
where the world in stillness rocksB
-
All is visible and all elusiveD
all is near and can't be touchedE
-
Paper book pencil glassB
rest in the shade of their namesB
-
Time throbbing in my temples repeatsB
the same unchanging syllable of bloodF
-
The light turns the indifferent wallG
into a ghostly theater of reflectionsB
-
I find myself in the middle of an eyeH
watching myself in its blank stareI
-
The moment scatters MotionlessB
I stay and go I am a pauseB
