Today marks the 49th anniversary of Anne Sexton’s death! RIP!

(9 November 1928, Newton, MA – 4 October 1974, Weston, MA)

...

Death’s a sad bone; bruised, you’d say,

and yet she waits for me, year and year, to so delicately undo an old would, to empty my breath from its bad prison.

Balanced there, suicides sometimes meet, raging at the fruit, a pumped-up moon, leaving the bread they mistook for a kiss,

leaving the page of a book carelessly open, something unsaid, the phone off the hook and the look, whatever it was, an infection.

–Anne Sexton, from “Wanting to Die”, written February 3, 1964 (in: Live or Die, 1966)
