The Waters Of The Bay Lie Beneath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHIJJKLM NJOPQRSTBUPPV JRJJ

An abandoned houseA
dark salved to eclecticB
crinkly black pigment of old pine boardsC
disparate to the elementsD
-
The waters of the bay lie beneathE
A long slope trailing back of brushF
garbles stones hoarseG
in the throat of a dust flecked fieldH
are made more barrenI
by the skunk cabbage weedsJ
the ugly flotsam cloaksJ
of horse hair to the neckK
a hair shirt coddling abrupt the barren painL
tilled from empty soilM
-
The summer's heatN
Nameless insect waifsJ
wavering adjusting tumultO
to straighten the tight airP
about the outward door frameQ
Pinched in windows glass inR
refugee lots billowing aboutS
urine paperT
nails a ruddy pickB
dried to rusty blueU
some dim shiny in their cropped disrepairP
A road dry rotating bareP
nameless zigzaggedV
-
only limestone in shelvesJ
meanders inR
throngs about stony debrisJ
sometimes up to this beaten houseJ
