Dean's
poem to David Meltzer on his 21st birthday,
1957
tonight tonight,
I shall lay
me down to sleep down to...
i shall find a fine bed of loving
rocks loving rocks and lay
me down to sleep..soon..and
pull up about me a warm quilt
of soil about my frozen body
quilt of soil..tonight tonight
i promise i shall..then over
me to hide me from too many
stars i shall pull a beautiful
green blanket of loving grass
loving grass..and for my pill
ow i shall have a gentle stone
gentle stone with numbers on
it 21
