Suicide Off Egg Rock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEAAEAFGA AHIJIKI LHI M| Behind him the hotdogs split and drizzled | A |
| On the public grills and the ochreous salt flats | B |
| Gas tanks factory stacks that landscape | C |
| Of imperfections his bowels were part of | D |
| Rippled and pulsed in the glassy updraught | A |
| Sun struck the water like a damnation | E |
| No pit of shadow to crawl into | A |
| And his blood beating the old tattoo | A |
| I am I am I am Children | E |
| Were squealing where combers broke and the spindrift | A |
| Raveled wind ripped from the crest of the wave | F |
| A mongrel working his legs to a gallop | G |
| Hustled a gull flock to flap off the sandspit | A |
| - | |
| He smoldered as if stone deaf blindfold | A |
| His body beached with the sea's garbage | H |
| A machine to breathe and beat forever | I |
| Flies filing in through a dead skate's eyehole | J |
| Buzzed and assailed the vaulted brainchamber | I |
| The words in his book wormed off the pages | K |
| Everything glittered like blank paper | I |
| - | |
| Everything shrank in the sun's corrosive | L |
| Ray but Egg Rock on the blue wastage | H |
| He heard when he walked into the water | I |
| - | |
| The forgetful surf creaming on those ledges | M |
