Here you are:

Tonight No Poetry Will Serve

Adrienne Rich - 1929-2012

Saw you walking barefoot

taking a long look

at the new moon's eyelid

later spread

sleep-fallen, naked in your dark hair

asleep but not oblivious

of the unslept unsleeping

elsewhere

Tonight I think

no poetry

will serve

Syntax of rendition:

verb pilots the plane

adverb modifies action

verb force-feeds noun

submerges the subject

noun is choking

verb disgraced goes on doing

now diagram the sentence
