The Minimal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEEEEFF| I study the lives on a leaf the little | A |
| Sleepers numb nudgers in cold dimensions | B |
| Beetles in caves newts stone deaf fishes | C |
| Lice tethered to long limp subterranean weeds | D |
| Squirmers in bogs | E |
| And bacterial creepers | E |
| Wriggling through wounds | E |
| Like elvers in ponds | E |
| Their wan mouths kissing the warm sutures | E |
| Cleaning and caressing | F |
| Creeping and healing | F |
