Poems Don't Lie

 

 

 

 

 

 And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

her body does verbs among me
there are the wet thumbs of Gods long dead flung down 


~
 from Transmigration by Danny Beatty

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those groans men use
passing a woman on the street
or on the steps of the subway

to tell her she is a female
and their flesh knows it,

are they a sort of tune,
an ugly enough song, sung
by a bird with a slit tongue

but meant for music?

 

 

~ from The Mutes by Denise Levertov.
