their miraculous sickness
like a shield, like armor

when the world’s up for grabs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

Converted into cool hard steel
And right red velvet lining;
While over her tan impassivity
Shot silk is shining.”

Without a rider on a road at night.
The mind sits listening and hears it pass.”
