birds
Anne Sexton
“you who put gum in my coffee cup and worms in my Jell-O, you who let me pretend you were daddy of the poets, witchman, you stand for all, for all the bad dead, a Salvation Army Band who plays for no one. I am cement. The bird in me is blind as I knife out your name and all your dead kind.”
