I want to write "I
Am not violent"
But that's a damm
Lie - I told my
Friend I need to
Go to a therapist
And she said what
Can they do to help
You are already so
In touch with your
Feelings - with all
Your writings - yes
To be a poet of any
Merit - I suppose
There has to be
Something loose
When married - I
Was always afraid
Of the gas oven &
How easy it was to
Light - Sexton & I
Were good friends
Then and I under
Stood why her head
One day went in
How sad and poetic
To be remembered
There is a violence
Inside every poet
And our words its
Cage
