Berryman's superiority
Berryman could abandon his
Then find one younger
Than the one before
Delirium Tremens
And the shadow standing
In the dark watching
His disintegration.
But I in my own
Incorrigibility retain
A longing for just this
Particular one though she
Grows older before me
And the shadow watching
Isn't watching me.
He could hide or admit
Himself into detox
But I must clear-eyed see
Her slipping, her brown eyes
That once sent my heart
Racing dull while I
Stand in the dark watching.
