(for Theodore Roethke)
We die of love, or anything at all.
I drew a million breaths, but could not sing.
My bones are of the earth, and heed its call;
I’ll dream a sun, and feed myself on ink.
Be still, be still: a color’s in my eyes.
What’s sleeping? Will I wake? Have I a soul?
This water’s cold. A stone does what it likes.
My breath is gone. The sea’s song fills me whole.

Women naturally look swampy to me anyway… I’d rather die by sex with a rodent! Think of the pain! Think of all the attention I’d get in the smut magazines! A stone does what it likes? They do tend to be lazy; laying around all day… Why don’t they get a job like everybody else!
