Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

The real me lives in words, not in what words mean.

The butterfly owns her now.
It covers her and her wounds.

In my sights I carve him
like a sculptor. I mold out
his last look at everyone.
I carry his eyes and his
brain bone at every position.
I know his male sex and I do
march over him with my index finger.
His mouth and his anus are one.
I am at the center of feeling.

Give me your skin as sheer as a cobweb, let me open it up and listen in and scoop out the dark. - Anne Sexton
