Re: Anything But Siken

I like Frank Bidart for Ellen West and Herbert White, but he also has things like this:

To all those driven berserk or humanized by love
this is offered, for I need help
deciphering my dream.
When we love our lord is LOVE.

When I recall that at the fourth hour
of the night, watched by shining stars,
LOVE at last became incarnate,
the memory is horror.

In his hands smiling LOVE held my burning
heart, and in his arms, the body whose greeting
pierces my soul, now wrapped in bloodred, sleeping.

He made him wake. He ordered him to eat
my heart. He ate my burning heart. He ate it
submissively, as if afraid as LOVE wept.

I also like Seamus Heaney, but I think sifting for the right phrase might be a little harder.

Whoa, that Herbert White poem is twisted (trigger warnings for anyone thinking of clicking on it), but I can see what you mean. I swear I got goosebumps when I got to "One time, I went to see Dad in a motel where he was staying with a woman; but she was gone; you could smell the wine in the air."

Oh, yes, it's dark, but powerful. It's also not the poem I thought I was linking to, hence the lack of warning. **facepalm**

I meant to point out this one: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/guilty-of-dust/

Anyone reading this thread: Ellen West is about anorexia and Herbert White is about a serial killer. Both contain potentially triggering content.
