Symbolism-The use of one object to represent or suggest another object or an idea.

a) The hodge porridge of their country lust... This use of symbolism is explaining the life of a country woman and a country man; the two-lovers. Their life is very simple and somewhat poor. It's not very luxurious.

b) They lie each in separate dreams... That phrase is showing how the woman is thinking what life could be like if the man and the woman each went on their separate ways, for they don't have anything in common. They don't really want to be together anymore. Simile-Two unlike things compared using "like" or "as," implying only one similar quality.

a) acres look like a sprouting broom factory... Their farm is infested with weeds and is not well-kept. This is also a resemblence of their life together, in a way that says the man and the woman have many problems in their marriage, and they do not take the time to work out. If you let a few weeds grow, a whole garden of them sprouts out.

b) touch of him like a heavy god grown light... The man treats his wife like she is just a play toy, and she is not a friend. The wife would want this situation to be different and actually have a friend in her husband, but she'll never say anything because she is afraid of being alone. His touch, though, is like a heavy god grown light in that he is good in bed. Alliteration-The repetition of similar speech sounds in closely associated words or syllables.

a) Brief bright bridge-In context of this poem, this refers to the few moments when they are happy together (in bed). Personification-Giving human qualities to inanimate objects or non-human creatures.

a) the sweat of the house they keep... This is referring to the parts of each other the man and the woman keep once they go their separate ways.
