Title of poem as last line of another ... (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

I know I could look this up but having you guys around has made me lazy. In The Roominghouse Madrigals, there is a poem titled "I was born to hustle roses down the avenues of the dead." Of course, years later he used this as the final line of another poem. Can you tell me the title of that poem and where it appears?

Thanks much,

Harry
 
consummation of grief

Last lines:

what counts
is waiting on walls
I was born for this

I was born to hustle roses down the avenues of the dead.

From: Mockingbird Wish Me Luck (page 85.)
 
Thank you, Jan. I would have found it eventually, but I probably would have started with "Play the piano drunk" and might have taken a while to get to "Mockingbird."
