Drunk As Drunk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDAEEFGH IJAKLMNOPC| Translated 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 |
