    “He gets red roses in different places,
    the head, that time he was as sleepy as a river,
    the back, that time he was a broken scarecrow,
    the arm like a diamond had bitten it,
    the leg, twisted like a licorice stick....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “If I’ve killed one man, I’ve killed two—
    The vampire who said he was you
    And drank my blood for a year,
    Seven years, if you want to know.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
    In prison they accompany the jailer,
    Enter cells to hear confessions.
    Their short-end comes down
    When you least expect it.”
    —Charles Simic (b. 1938)
