Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGHIGJKLKMNOGP QGRMSTU| Three days searchers worked below | A |
| rock leaps her feet had not bridged | B |
| men trolling grabbling hooks through | C |
| suck hole and blue hole bamboo | C |
| poles jabbing the backs of falls | D |
| before the high sheriff told | E |
| her folks there was but one way | F |
| so Jake Poston came his poke | G |
| bulging with a snapper's weight | H |
| its head a jawed fist mossed shell | I |
| big as a washpan fishhook | G |
| deep barbed in the webbed back foot | J |

| like a leash as the snapper | M |
| wandered river floor then stopped | N |
| and Jake just nodded the men | O |
| wading on in No one spoke | G |
| of the gashes in her throat | P |
| or of why he hadn't cut | Q |
| that line afterward had slung | G |
| thirty pounds of turtle on | R |
| his back headed downriver | M |
| to the cabin where no wife | S |
| set his table where no meat | T |
| yet simmered in the kettle | U |
