Sonnenizio on a Line from Drayton

Comments:
The form that Addonizio herself invented: "Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part;/ or kiss anyway, let's start with that, with the kissing part,/ because it's better than the parting part, isn't it--"

"When my daughter confessed she'd wanted to end her life at ten--/ stepped out on the window ledge and stood there, at the edge/ of a decision--we promised never to kill ourselves, never/ to abandon each other."

THE WITNESS
21 points - added 15 years ago by danielleblasko - 1 comment
Comments:
"She feels helpless to keep him from anything,/ the way a child is helpless among adults/ who determine its fate; she sees she's only here/ as a witness, someone who will remember/ each detail with perfect clarity/ after the worst is over,/ after its too late to save anyone."

"And speaking of executions. How many/ have there been lately? Not nearly enough./ We've got problems in this country I tell you./ If thy right eye offend thee/ you know what to do./ And if thy left eye, too.
