Navigating mercy An asylum harbor from afar Here, in the gloaming of your closed notebooks A faint-hearted horizon And the wide beam sea Two days out from despair The written word will capsize you, Anne God is in your typewriter and where the boats so often go

The Awful Rowing Toward God
Navigating mercy An asylum harbor from afar Here, in the gloaming of your closed notebooks A faint-hearted horizon And the wide beam sea Two days out from despair The written word will capsize you, Anne God is in your typewriter and where the boats so often go
Anne Sexton (November 9, 1928 – October 4, 1974)
