If It Should Ever Come
If It Should Ever Come
By Edward Dorn 1929–1999 Edward Dorn
And we are all there together
time will wave as willows do
and adios will be truly, yes, laughing at what is forgotten and talking of what's new
admiring the roses you brought.
How sad. You didn't know you were at the end
thought it was your bright pear
the earth, yes another affair to have been kept
and gazed back on
when you had slept
to have been stored
as a squirrel will a nut, and half
forgotten, -
During his life, Dorn taught at a number of institutions of higher learning..
-
Dorn's poetry is many things at once: rangy and compressed, rough and refined, metaphysical and crude, slangy and grandiloquent, subtle and hectoring.
