chris deblasio – walt whitman in 1989 كلمات اغاني

walt whitman has come down
today to the hospital room;
he rocks back and forth in the crisis;

he says it’s good we haven’t lost
our closeness, and cries
as each one is taken

he has writen many lines
about these years: the disfigurement
of young men and the wars

of hard tongues and closed minds
the body in pain will bear such n0bility
but words have the edge

of poison when spoken bitterly
now he takes a dying man
in his arms and tells him

how deeply flows the river
that takes the old man and his friends
this evening. it is the river

of dusk and lamentation
“flow.” walt says. “dear river
i will carry this young man

to your bank. i’ll put him myself
on one of your strong, flat boats
and we’ll sail together all the way
through evening.”
