• the heart, this child of myself that resides in the flesh, this ultimate signature of the me, the start of my blindness and sleep, builds a death crèche.

    Anne Sexton: the heart,
this child of myself that resides in the flesh,
this ultimate signature of the me, the start
of my blindness and sleep, builds a death crèche.
    Anne Sexton (1999). “Love Poems”, p.25, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
