She mentioned 'worthless' & he took it in, <br />degraded Henry, at the ebb of love— <br />O at the end of love— <br />in undershorts, with visitors, whereof <br />we can say their childlessness is ending. Love <br />finally took over, <br /> <br />after their two adopted: she has a month to go <br />and Henry has (perhaps) many months to go <br />until another Spring <br />wakens another Henry, with far to go; <br />far to go, pal. <br />My pussy-willow ceased. The tiger-lily dreamed. <br /> <br />All we dream, uncertain, in Syracuse & here <br />& there: dread we our loves, whereas the National Geographic <br />is on its way somewhere. <br />We're not. We're on our way to the little fair <br />and the cops & the flicks & the single flick <br />who'll solve our intolerable problem.<br /><br />John Berryman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-song-109-she-mentioned-worthless-amp-he-to/
