Drunk As Drunk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDAEEFGH IJAKLMNOPCTranslated from the Spanish by Christopher Logue | A |
- | |
Drunk as drunk on turpentine | B |
From your open kisses | C |
Your wet body wedged | D |
Between my wet body and the strake | A |
Of our boat that is made of flowers | E |
Feasted we guide it our fingers | E |
Like tallows adorned with yellow metal | F |
Over the sky's hot rim | G |
The day's last breath in our sails | H |
- | |
Pinned by the sun between solstice | I |
And equinox drowsy and tangled together | J |
We drifted for months and woke | A |
With the bitter taste of land on our lips | K |
Eyelids all sticky and we longed for lime | L |
And the sound of a rope | M |
Lowering a bucket down its well Then | N |
We came by night to the Fortunate Isles | O |
And lay like fish | P |
Under the net of our kisses | C |
