the truth the dead know - anne sexton lyrics

Loading...

gone, i say and walk from church
refusing the stiff procession to the grave
letting the dead ride alone in the he*rs*
it is june. i am tired of being brave

we drive to the cape. i cultivate
myself where the sun gutters from the sky
where the sea swings in like an iron gate
and we touch. in another country people die

my darling, the wind falls in like stonеs
from the whiteheartеd water and when we touch
we enter touch entirely. no one’s alone
men k!ll for this, or for as much

and what of the dead? they lie without shoes
in their stone boats. they are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. they refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone
