no sky, no month

...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.

when the lightning came down the hill –

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.
