John Berryman - Dream Song 122: He published his girl's bottom in staid pages

He published his girl's bottom in staid pages br of an old weekly. Where will next his rages br ridiculous Henry land? br Tranquil & chaste, de-hammocked, he descended— br upon which note the fable should have ended— br towards the ground, and br br while fable wound itself upon him thick br and coats upon his tongue formed, white, terrific: br he stretched out still. br Assembled bands to do obsequious music br at hopeless noon. He bayed before he obeyed, br doing at last their will. br br This seemed perhaps one of the best of dogs br during his barking. Many thronged & lapped br at his delicious stone. br Cats to a distance kept—one of their own— br having in mind that down he lay & napped br in the realm of whiskers & fogs.
