In what two ways does the poem's structure match
the movements of the turtle it describes?
They both have even movements.
breaks from the blue-black
skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes
across the shallows and through the rushes
and over the mudflats, to the uprise,
to the yellow sand,
to dig with her ungainly feet
a nest, and hunker there spewing
her white eggs down
into the darkness, and you think
They both stop and start regularly.
They both have uneven movements.
They both stop and start unevenly.
They both are separated into three parts.
of her patience, her fortitude,
her determination to complete
what she was born to do
and then you realize a greater thing...-
