1. When women 

a.  call out for the dread, is it you who answers?

b.  rage fruitlessly, is it you who bear it?

2. What may we infer from the fact that your awfulness begins

a.  with the sound of awe?

b.  and ends in repletion?

3. Do you customarily torment men because they made you as the
personification of their deepest shame

a.  and is that why you are exquisite? 

4. Why did you steal torches from a funeral?

- now we reach the essence of the poet’s current preoccupation

5. Was it a punishment to the deceased? What 

had they done? Was it something to warrant

a.  extinguishing the lights 

b.  [at] their funeral? 

6. And finally, like torches, does rage burn out 

or up?
