Anne Sexton

Para alguém que escreveu "HIs mouth and his anus are one" ( e não se chamna Glauco Matoso) e "I burn the way money burns", Anne Sexton deveria ser mais conhecida entre nós. Poeta americana, as informações sobre ela estão disponíveis na Wiki e em pepenta sitios na rede. Este poema aqui é só uma provocação, quem sabe vc não descobre melhores por aí? Depois, me conte!!!

The Assassin

The correct death is written in.
I will fill the need.
My bow is stiff.
My bow is in readiness.
I am the bullet and the hook.
I am cocked and held ready.
In my sights I carve him
like a sculptor. I mold out
his last look at everyone.
I carry his eyes and his
brain bone at every position.
I know his male sex and I do
march over him with my index finger.
His mouth and his anus are one.
I am at the center of feeling.

A subway train is
traveling across my crossbow.
I have a blood bolt
and I have made it mine.
With this man I take in hand
his destiny and with this gun
I take in hand the newspapers and
with my heat I will take him.
he will bend down toward me
and his veins will tumble out
like children… Give me
his flag and his eye.
Give me his hard shell and his lip.
He is my evil and my apple and
I will see him home.
