Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLMBNOPQRSTU VWXY ZAT| Then walk the floor or twist upon your bed | A |
| While bullets cold and blind rush backward from the target s eye | B |
| And say I will not dream that dream again I will not dream | C |
| Of long spent whispers vanishing down corridors | D |
| That turn through buildings I have never known | E |
| The snap of rubber gloves the tall child blind | F |
| Who calls my name the stained sheets | G |
| Of another girl And then a low bell | H |
| Sounding through shadows in the cold | I |
| Disturbs the screen that is my mind in sleep | J |

| Your face is never clear You always stand | K |
| In charcoal doorways in the dark Part of your face | L |
| is gone You say Just to be through with this damned world | M |
| Contagious fogs blow in Christ we could die | B |
| The way deer sometimes do their antlers locked | N |
| Rotting in snow | O |
| And I can never speak | P |
| But have I ever told the truth to you | Q |
| I did not ask for this a new disease threads in | R |
| I want your lips upon my lips your mouth | S |
| Upon my breasts again again again again | T |
| I want the morning filled with sun | U |
| - | |

| But I must dream once more of cities burned away | V |
| Corrupted wood and silence on the piers | W |
| Love is a sickroom with the roof half gone | X |
| Where nights go down in a continual rain | Y |
| - | |

| Heart heart I do not live The lie of peace | Z |
| Echoes to no end the clocks are dead | A |
| What we have had we will not have again | T |
