“O I am miserable:
You cherished me, my mother,
But even you desert me.
I am sent to an empty place.”

the webs, all bloody and gluey;
you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
beating, wresting, beating, beating
your way out of childhood,
that airless net that fastened you down.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
