Mail Call Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJK| The letters always just evade the hand | A |
| One skates like a stone into a beam falls like a bird | B |
| Surely the past from which the letters rise | C |
| Is waiting in the future past the graves | D |
| The soldiers are all haunted by their lives | E |
| Their claims upon their kind are paid in paper | F |
| That established a presence like a smell | G |
| In letters and in dreams they see the world | H |
| They are waiting and the years contract | I |
| To an empty hand to one unuttered sound | J |
| The soldier simply wishes for his name | K |
