Anne Sexton
You said the anger would come back
just as the love did.

I have a black look I do not
like. It is a mask I try on.
I migrate toward it and its frog
sits on my lips and defecates.
It is old. It is also a pauper.
I have tried to keep it on a diet.
I give it no unction.

There is a good look that I wear
like a blood clot. I have
sewn it over my left breast.
I have made a vocation of it.
Lust has taken plant in it
and I have placed you and your
child at its milk tip.

Oh the blackness is murderous
and the milk tip is brimming
and each machine is working
and I will kiss you when
I cut up one dozen new men
and you will die somewhat,
again and again.
a large clump of clouds
just floated over our town
they've blocked the sun
soon I shall be horizontal
as my bed beckons me

Why is it
That I feel different around you
In school?
I suppose the distance we've gone
Struggles we've had
They weren't in school
They were separate
And now I feel odd
Not in a bad way
When I see you in school.

I wish I could write forever,
I wish my thoughts
          never stopped thinking in rhymes,
          never stopped counting syllables,
          never stopped making metaphors.
I want to be the poem,
I want to be the art.
day draws to an end
a half crescent sun lies o'er
the western sky line
her vault of treasures
for him to explore
her delicate petals opened
as a welcoming door

he immersed himself
in her divine tunnel
it engender excitement
in his burgeoning funnel

in synchronization
they moved to a fevered beat
their bodies were fused
with a scorching heat

to a crescendo of moans
an ecstatic moment did spring
they gave their all
in *******'s zing
Time



               Is



                          But

A


                                                                 Number


A slight movement of the earth around the sun



Such




                           A


       Waste



Of a life.









                 Better spent living,


      


                                                          Then to keep




           Track




    


                               Of something




            As



                                     Pointless



                      As time


                                                            Don't you think?
I'd never tell you
that
I love the way you
hold me
(but I do).

I'd never tell you
that
your lips are imprinted
on mine.
(but they are).

I'd never tell you
that
when we lie in my bed
cuddled up
and the lazy sun rays caress
us
I try to match my
breathing with yours
(but I do).

I'd never tell you
that
I simply love
the way you absentmindedly
caress my arm
or leg
or shoulder
(but I do).

I'd never tell you
that
I love feeling
you heartbeat
because it's beautiful
to me
(but I do).

I'd never tell you
that
I sometimes wake up
at three in the morning
and need you
(but I do).

All I tell you
is
my messed up thoughts
and how broken I am
(and that you fixed me).

I'd never tell you
that
I love you
(but I do).
