or Amy Vladeck or Riva Freifeld

That isna Henry limping. That`s a hobble
clapped on mere Henry by the most high GOD
for the freedom of Henry`s soul.
—The body`s foul, cried god, once, twice, & bound it—
For many years I hid it from him successfully—
I`m not clear how he found it

But now he has it—much good may it do him
in the vacant spiritual of space—
only Russians & Americans 
to as it were converse with—weel, one Frenchman
to liven up the airless with one nose
& opinions clever & grim.

God declared war on Valerie Trueblood, 
against Miss Kaplan he had much to say
O much to say too.
My memory of his kindness comes like a flood
for which I flush with gratitude; yet away 
he shouldna have put down Miss Trueblood.
