I have had enough.
I gasp for breath.
TALENT
I have had enough—
border-pinks, clove-pinks, wax-lilies,
herbs, sweet-cress.
PERSONALITY
O to blot out this garden
to forget, to find a new beauty
in some terrible
wind-tortured place.
before I am lost,
hell must open like a red rose
for the dead to pass.

various trivia
what does the world
mean to you if you can’t trust it
to go on shining when you’re
not there?
look, hasn’t my body already felt
like the body of a flower?
look, I want to love this world
as though it’s the last chance I’m ever going to get
to be alive
and know it.
so this is the world.
I’m not in it.
it is beautiful.
