Heartbeat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHIJ H| Only mouths are we Who sings the distant heart | A |
| which safely exists in the center of all things | B |
| His giant heartbeat is diverted in us | C |
| into little pulses And his giant grief | D |
| is like his giant jubilation far too | E |
| great for us And so we tear ourselves away | F |
| from him time after time remaining only | G |
| mouths But unexepectedly and secretly | G |
| the giant heartbeat enters our being | H |
| so that we scream | I |
| and are transformed in being and in countenance | J |
