WHEN MAN ENTERS WOMAN
Source When man enters woman, like the surf biting the shore, again and again, and the woman opens her mouth with pleasure and her teeth gleam like the alphabet, Logos appears milking a star, and the man inside of woman ties a knot so that they will never again be separate and the woman climbs into a flower and swallows its stem and Logos appears and unleashes their rivers. This man, this woman with their double hunger, have tried to reach through the curtain of God and briefly they have, though God in His perversity unties the knot. Anne Sexton [The Awful Rowing Toward God, 1975] in Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems, Boston, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1981 ; First Mariner Books Edition, 1999, p. 428. With a foreword by Maxine Kumin.
