John Berryman - Dream Song 13: God bless Henry

God bless Henry. He lived like a rat, br with a thatch of hair on his head br in the beginning. br Henry was not a coward. Much. br He never deserted anything; instead br he stuck, when things like pity were thinning. br br So may be Henry was a human being. br Let's investigate that. br ... We did; okay. br He is a human American man. br That's true. My lass is braking. br My brass is aching. Come & diminish me, & map my way. br br God's Henry's enemy. We're in business ... Why, br what business must be clear. br A cornering. br I couldn't feel more like it. —Mr. Bones, br as I look on the saffron sky, br you strikes me as ornery.
