Dream Song 16: Henrys pelt was put on sundry walls
Henry's pelt was put on sundry walls
where it did much resemble Henry and
them persons was delighted.
Especially his long & glowing tail
by all them was admired, and visitors.
They whistled: This is it!
Golden, whilst your frozen daiquiris
whir at midnight, gleams on you his fur
& silky & black.
Mission accomplished, pal.
My molten yellow & moonless bag,
drained, hangs at rest.
Collect in the cold depths barracuda.
Ay,
in Sealdah Station some possessionless
children survive to die.
The Chinese communes hum.
Two daiquiris
withdrew into a corner of the gorgeous room
and one told the other a lie.
