Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

I lay there silently,
hoarding my small dignity.
I did not ask about the gate or the closet.
I did not question the bedtime ritual
where, on the cold bathroom tiles,
I was spread out daily
and examined for flaws.

I did not know
that my bones,
those solids, those pieces of sculpture
would not splinter.

Yesterday I did not want to be borrowed but this is the typewriter that sits before me and love is where yesterday is at.

I should be working and not writing you. But this is a missing you, where are you, hello and necessary for my soul.
