Inscription For A Gravestone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIGJGKLGGGGAM KKNA| I am not dead I have only become inhuman | A |
| That is to say | B |
| Undressed myself of laughable prides and infirmities | C |
| But not as a man | D |
| Undresses to creep into bed but like an athlete | E |
| Stripping for the race | F |
| The delicate ravel of nerves that made me a measurer | G |
| Of certain fictions | H |
| Called good and evil that made me contract with pain | I |
| And expand with pleasure | G |
| Fussily adjusted like a little electroscope | J |
| That's gone it is true | G |
| I never miss it if the universe does | K |
| How easily replaced | L |
| But all the rest is heightened widened set free | G |
| I admired the beauty | G |
| While I was human now I am part of the beauty | G |
| I wander in the air | G |
| Being mostly gas and water and flow in the ocean | A |
| Touch you and Asia | M |
| At the same moment have a hand in the sunrises | K |
| And the glow of this grass | K |
| I left the light precipitate of ashes to earth | N |
| For a love token | A |
