no fox, no birds, no sweet chipmunks,
no sofa game, no summer resorts.
No whatever it was we had,
no sky, no month – just booze.
Lines from EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT YOU - December 15th in Love Poems, Anne Sexton (1967)
...No weather reports,
no fox, no birds, no sweet chipmunks, no sofa game, no summer resorts. No whatever it was we had, no sky, no month – just booze. Lines from EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT YOU - December 15th in Love Poems, Anne Sexton (1967) ... toy
engines while the toy fire burned. Lines from EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT YOU - December 14th in Love Poems, Anne Sexton (1967) Remember that thunder storm in July
when the lightning came down the hill – and I wore my sneakers to stay brave – Lines from EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT YOU - December 13th in Love Poems, Anne Sexton (1967) I sway with two red scarfs.
I'm in trance, calling love me, woo, woo and we all passionately dance. Lines from EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT YOU - December 12th in Love Poems, Anne Sexton (1967) We are bare. We are stripped to the bone
and we swim in tandem and go up and up the river, the identical river called Mine and we enter together. No one's alone. Lines from EIGHTEEN DAYS WITHOUT YOU - December 11th in Love Poems, Anne Sexton (1967) |
