Why have your eyes gone into their own room? - Anne Sexton

This one day her mother gave her
a basket of wine and cake
to take to her grandmother
because she was ill.
Wine and cake?
Where's the aspirin? The penicillin?
Where's the fruit juice?
Peter Rabbit got camomile tea.
But wine and cake it was.

Suicides have a special language.
Like carpenters they want to know which tools.
They never ask why build.

Even so, I must admire your skill.
You are so gracefully insane.
