Farewell With your sagging belly With your fear of Hitler With your mouth of bad short stories With your fingers of rotten mandolins With your arms of fat Paterson porches With your belly of strikes and smokestacks With your chin of Trotsky and the Spanish War With your voice singing for the decaying overbroken workers With your nose of bad lay, with your nose of the smell of the pickles of Newark
With your eyes With your eyes of Russia With your eyes of no money With your eyes of false China With your eyes of Aunt Elanor With your eyes of starving India With your eyes pissing in the park With your eyes of America taking a fall With your eyes of your failure at the piano With your eyes of your relatives in California With your eyes of Ma Rainy dying in an ambulance With your eyes of Czechoslovakia attacked by robots With your eyes going to painting class at night in the Bronx With your eyes of the killer Grandma you see on the horizon from the fire-escape With your eyes running naked out of the apartment screaming into the hall With your eyes being led away by policement to an ambulance With your eyes strapped down on the operating table With your eyes with the pancreas removed With your eyes of appendix operation With your eyes of abortion With your eyes of ovaries removed With your eyes of shock With your eyes of lobotomy With your eyes of divorce With your eyes of stroke With your eyes alone With your eyes With your eyes With your Death full of Flowers
