The Gods Ash Their Cigarettes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKJLMNOPMQ| Death stepped out of the television | A |
| just long enough to catch us off guard | B |
| and we mill around a crematorium's lawns | C |
| 'I saw her on Friday now she's gone ' | D |
| The women cry and hug men | E |
| shuddering at the taste of ashes | F |
| A smile between friends it could have | G |
| been you and me last summer in the accident | H |
| We were suitably dressed even the sky was grey | I |
| We bull ants terrified of sadistic feet | J |
| on a footpath curse the gods look in the other's | K |
| eyes then look beyond to the feet | J |
| The keepers of the place tell us to hurry | L |
| along make space for the incoming cars | M |
| They can't care it's a living to them | N |
| but our hearts turn against black hearted fate | O |
| We kick the backs of each other's shoes | P |
| and hands in pockets shuffle back to our cars | M |
| Suddenly her blonde hair her face | Q |
