John Berryman - Dream Song 5: Henry sats in de bar & was odd

Henry sats in de bar & was odd, br off in the glass from the glass, br at odds wif de world & its god, br his wife is a complete nothing, br St Stephen br getting even. br br Henry sats in de plane & was gay. br Careful Henry nothing said aloud br but where a Virgin out of cloud br to her Mountain dropt in light, br his thought made pockets & the plane buckt. br 'Parm me, lady.' 'Orright.' br br Henry lay in de netting, wild, br while the brainfever bird did scales; br Mr Heartbreak, the New Man, br come to farm a crazy land; br an image of the dead on the fingernail br of a newborn child.
