John Berryman - Dream Song 18: A Strut for RoethkeJohn Berryman - Dream Song 18: A Strut for Roethke
Work rating: Low


Westward, hit a low note, for a roarer lost across the Sound but north from Bremerton, hit a way down note. And never cadenza again of flowers, or cost. Him who could really do that cleared his throat & staggered on. The bluebells, pool-shallows, saluted his over-needs, while the clouds growled, heh-heh, & snapped, & crashed. No stunt he`ll ever unflinch once more will fail (O lucky fellow, eh Bones?)—drifted off upstairs, downstairs, somewheres. No more daily, trying to hit the head on the nail: thirstless: without a think in his head: back from wherever, with it said. Hit a high long note, for a lover found needing a lower into friendlier ground to bug among worms no more around um jungles where ah blurt `What for?` Weeds, too, he favoured as     most men don`t favour men. The Garden Master`s gone.
