Stevens

Memorial umbrellas congregate
Among the ordnance and brides of edgy banjos
Whose randy badinage lifts saffron mangoes

Through reefs of leaves dressing a green nadir.
Theatric thunders in their ithyphallic laundry-theater
Thumb through rolls in the blue world's doomsday books

Looking for names to name and number and numb.
They named his name once on a tomb who now
Would number us in the barrel of lumber-blossoms

Not yet bitch-bitten. Lullabies abound,
However; lullabies proliferate;
And memoranda, blissful memoranda,

Enough to stuff a grandiose caboose.

Memorial umbrellas congregate
Among the ordnance and brides of edgy banjos
Whose randy badinage lifts saffron mangoes

Through reefs of leaves dressing a green nadir.
Theatric thunders in their ithyphallic laundry-theater
Thumb through rolls in the blue world's doomsday books

Looking for names to name and number and numb.
They named his name once on a tomb who now
Would number us in the barrel of lumber-blossoms

Not yet bitch-bitten. Lullabies abound,
However; lullabies proliferate;
And memoranda, blissful memoranda,

Enough to stuff a grandiose caboose.
