ANNE SEXTON
(1928-1974)
WHEN MAN ENTERS WOMAN
When man,
enters woman,
like the surf biting the shore,
again and again,
and the woman opens her mouth with pleasure
and her teeth gleam
like the alphabet,
Logos appears milking a star,
and the man
inside of woman
ties a knot
so that they will
never again be separate
and the woman
climbs into a flower
and swallows its stem
and Logos appears
and unleashes their rivers.
This man,
this woman
with their double hunger,
have tried to reach through
the curtain of God
and briefly they have,
though God
in His perversity
unties the knot.

Αμερικανίδα είναι. Αρκετά γνωστή. Αυτοκτόνησε κι αυτή, σαν την Pizarnik. Τι άλλο να σου πω; Ψάξε και μόνος σου. Γι' αυτό άλλωστε ανοίξαμε και το μαγαζί. ''Ερεθίσματα'' πουλάμε.

una flor
no lejos de la noche
mi cuerpo mudo
se abre
a la delicada urgencia del rocío.
