John Berryman - Dream Song 124: Behold I bring you tidings of great joy

Behold I bring you tidings of great joy— br especially now that the snow & gale are still— br for Henry is delivered. br Not only is he delivered from the gale br but he has a little one. He's out of jail br also. It is a boy. br br Henry's pleasure in this unusual event br reminds me of the extra told at Hollywood & Vine br that TV cameras br were focussed on him personally then & there br and 'Just a few words . . . Is it what you meant? br Was there a genuine sign?' br br Couvade was always Henry's favourite custom, br better than the bride biting off the penises, pal, br remember? All the brothers br marrying her in turn & dying mutilated br until the youngest put in instead a crowbar, pal, br and pulled out not only her teeth but also his brothers' dongs & no br doubt others'.
