Text
dream song 29 being recontextualised by the finale is sooooo fucking harrowing…..kendall recanting his admission of killing the waiter being the final insidious thread connecting his arc to that poem wherein the speaker realises he didn’t kill anyone at all. nobody is ever missing. the construction of reality through what is said. AGH

Dream Song 29
There sat down, once, a thing on Henry's heart
so heavy, if he had a hundred years
& more, & weeping, sleepless, in all them time
Henry could not make good.
Starts again always in Henry's ears
the little cough somewhere, an odour, a chime.
And there is another thing he has in mind
like a grave Sienese face a thousand years
would fail to blur the still profiled reproach of. Ghastly,
with open eyes, he attends, blind.
All the bells say: too late. This is not for tears;
thinking.
But never did Henry, as he thought he did,
end anyone and hacks her body up
and hide the pieces, where they may be found.
He knows: he went over everyone, & nobody's missing.
Often he reckons, in the dawn, them up.
Nobody is ever missing.
— John Berryman

The Hundred? As in, “If he had a hundred years…” 👀
Also cementing Pierce as this season’s chess game. We’re getting Kenaomi back!! 😍😍😍

Everyone start placing bets for which line will be featured as finale title! I actually see so many options, but from most to least likely imo:
Starts again always
like a grave
and hide the pieces

thinking. ruminating. considering. etc. this is soooo intriguing like. the fact that they are in reverse order. how the 3/4 finale titles are incomplete thoughts — with open eyes, he attends, blind / all the bells say: too late. in season 3 it was too late to change logan’s mind or stop him from making the deal / in season 4 this emphasizes a theme that’s already been heavily implied: roman/kendall are blind to the reality that waystar is a dying empire. nobody is ever missing being the final line is so fitting because in a way the season 1 finale was the end of the line for kendall at least. or the beginning of the end. woof i’m scared for this one fuckkkkk

Dream Song 29, John Berryman
There sat down, once, a thing on Henry’s heart
só heavy, if he had a hundred years
& more, & weeping, sleepless, in all them time
Henry could not make good.
Starts again always in Henry’s ears
the little cough somewhere, an odour, a chime.
And there is another thing he has in mind
like a grave Sienese face a thousand years
would fail to blur the still profiled reproach of. Ghastly,
with open eyes, he attends, blind.
All the bells say: too late. This is not for tears;
thinking.
But never did Henry, as he thought he did,
end anyone and hacks her body up
and hide the pieces, where they may be found.
He knows: he went over everyone, & nobody’s missing.
Often he reckons, in the dawn, them up.
Nobody is ever missing.

#it's national poetry month!!!#poetry#john berryman#dream song 29#succession#look clearly this is about succession because i'm not over it#i look at this poem every season and wonder what the finale title will be#and every time i think of how berryman died and worry#that last line...simply doesn't miss
