John Berryman is dead all his invitations, rescinded unlikely as it seems, Pound has not been uncaged and Pisa remains uncovered by the summer's sky John Berryman is dead his cantos have, indeed shaken my courage expressions have been lifted and letters signed and delivered John Berryman is dead it seems he did not die at too slow a rate, after all the Washington Avenue Bridge spoke too quickly and too loud, whispered in his father's voice John Berryman is dead released all his demons and avoided all his devils grieve for this stranger, made friendly and strange the bells sing too late John Berryman is dead bones go all the same all the same accept our envy O winner of praise sing your dreams dead poet

John Berryman Is Dead
