THE KEEPSAKE

What a jewel he had won for his treasury!

A memory thorny as porcupines,

Hard as a gallstone. His bad dream, distilled

From such ingredients as moonshine, lovers' sweat

And the purr of voices husky with self-deception,

Slept like a tumor--arrested, of course, or no hope

To survive at all. Yet, though the growth lay still

And was hard to remember at the best of times,

It wakened to supply him with a twinge wheb

He was tired, a bleeding in despair,

A paralysis when prostrate. Could any man.

So burdened not cringe with pride, possessor of

So shining, so eradicable a sorrow?

From Davison's The Breaking of the Day (Winner of Yale Series of Younger Poets Award).
