Waking In Winter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDECF GHICJKCH

I can taste the tin of the sky the real tin thingA
Winter dawn is the color of metalB
The trees stiffen into place like burnt nervesC
All night I have dreamed of destruction annihilationsC
An assembly line of cut throats and you and ID
Inching off in the gray Chevrolet drinking the greenE
Poison of stilled lawns the little clapboard gravestonesC
Noiseless on rubber wheels on the way to the sea resortF
-
How the balconies echoed How the sun lit upG
The skulls the unbuckled bones facing the viewH
Space Space The bed linen was giving out entirelyI
Cot legs melted in terrible attitudes and the nursesC
Each nurse patched her soul to a wound and disappearedJ
The deathly guests had not been satisfiedK
With the rooms or the smiles or the beautiful rubber plantsC
Or the sea Hushing their peeled sense like Old Mother MorphiaH
