ENDING, by MAXWELL BODENHEIM Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A fitting benediction of words Last Line: Opened its eyes and perished. Subject(s): Dreams; Talk; Nightmares | |||
A fitting benediction of words Stood, one by one, upon The warped threshold of your mouth., Dreams are wandering realities Stooping to pick stray roadside flowers And making silent boutonnieres Silent drops of mockery. And since the flowers quickly die, Dreams must ever walk with closed eyes. Hearing you, the dream I held Opened its eyes and perished. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS DEATH (1) by MAXWELL BODENHEIM |
