Song, The Winds Of Downhill Poem by George Oppen

Song, The Winds Of Downhill



‘out of poverty
to begin

again' impoverished

of tone of pose that common
wealth

of parlance Who
so poor the words

would with and take on substantial

meaning handholds footholds

to dig in one's heels sliding

hands and heels beyond the residential
lots the plots it is a poem

which may be sung
may well be sung
