Poems by Anne Sexton
Wanting to Die
... leaving the bread they mistook for a kiss,leaving the page of the book carelessly open, ...
Sylvia's Death
... with my arms stretched out into that stone place, ...
Cigarettes And Whiskey And Wild, Wild Women
... these days, and see a drunken rat avert her eyes ...
Admonitions To A Special Person
... Be it woman. It must be a wave you want to glide in on, ...
Angels Of The Love Affair
... 5. ANGEL OF BLIZZARDS AND BLACKOUTSAngle of blizzards and blackouts, do you know raspberries, ...
The Ballad Of The Lonely Masturbator
... I recline in the bower where you used to mount her ...
The Nude Swim
... We did not disturb their personal life ...
The Addict
... Yes, I admit it has gotten to be a bit of a habit- ...
Red Roses
... He never said anything else although he could talk fine ...
Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty)
... Many princes tried to get through the brambles ...
For My Lover, Returning To His Wife
... for the drunken sailor who waits in her left pulse, ...
Buying The Whore
... and I steer you with my rage until you run aground ...
Barefoot
... stayed. Long brown legs and long brown toes ...
Just Once
... my scar daisies, and knew that I walked my love ...
Young
... elbows, knees, dreams, goodnight ...
