from the edge of the deep green sea..., Ontario, Canada
A woman who writes feels too much.
A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl.
My mouth blooms like a cut.
Give me your skin
as sheer as a cobweb,
let me open it up
and listen in and scoop out the dark.
I am unbalanced - but I am not mad with snow. I am mad the way young girls are mad, with an offering, an offering....
The womb is not a clock nor a bell tolling, but in the eleventh month of it's life
I feel the November of the body as well as the calendar.
Well then - speak of it!
It was in the womb all along.
The woods are underwater, their weeds are shaking in the tide.
- Anne Sexton
