Anne Sexton | Fantasmas [de «Todos mis seres queridos» 1962]
«Algunos fantasmas son mujeres,
ni abstractas ni pálidas,
con los pechos fláccidos como peces muertos.
No brujas, sino fantasmas,
que llegan moviendo sus brazos inútiles
como siervos abandonados.»[...] Seguir leyendo en: https://sites.google.com/site/escritoresmalditos/escritores/anne-sexton/todos-mis-seres-queridos-1962/fantasmas

The Firebombers by Anne Sexton

We are America.
We are the coffin fillers.
We are the grocers of death.
We pack them in crates like cauliflowers.

The bomb opens like a shoebox.
And the child?
The child is certainly not yawning.
And the woman?
The woman is bathing her heart.
It has been torn out of her
and as a last act
she is rinsing it off in the river.
This is the death market.

America,
where are your credentials?

“What kind of writer am I?
With all this love
and no words for it?”
— Anne Sexton

🎶

With music (one's art, creativity, passion, inner knowing, a sense of urgency) and love we can make global impact, through our original sound mark we can create ~ a butterfly effect ~ as it were / music that turns out to be an universal expression of the human longing for the beauty of peace. ❤️

Everyone in me is a bird.
I am beating all my wings.
They wanted to cut you out
but they will not.
They said you were immeasurably empty
but you are not.
They said you were sick unto dying
but they were wrong.
You are singing like a school girl.
You are not torn.

I’m in pain because the day is ending and somehow I am never healing

Something
cold is in the air,
an aura of ice
and phlegm.
All day I've built
a lifetime and now
the sun sinks to
undo it.
The horizon bleeds
and sucks its thumb.
The little red thumb
goes out of sight.
And I wonder about
this lifetime with myself,
this dream I'm living.
I could eat the sky
like an apple
but I'd rather
ask the first star:
why am I here?
why do I live in this house?
who's responsible?
eh?”

'I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.'

from Her Kind by Anne Sexton

That's what I do: I make coffee and occasionally succumb to suicidal nihilism.
But you shouldn't worry – poetry is still first.
Cigarettes and alcohol follow.
