A Poem By Anne Sexton WHEN A MAN ENTERS A WOMAN When man enters woman, like the surf biting the shore, again and again, and the woman opens her mouth in 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 unleashed 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.	A Poem by Lizzie Siddal WORN OUT Thy strong arms are round me, love, My head is on thy breast; Low words of comfort come from me Yet my soul has no rest. For I am but a startled thing, Nor can I ever be, Aught save a bird whose broken wing, Must fly away from thee. I cannot give to thee the love, I gave so long ago, The love that turned and struck me down, Amid the blinding snow, I can but give a failing heart, And weary eyes of pain, A faded mouth that cannot smile, And may not laugh again. Yet keep thy arms around me, love, Until I fall asleep; Then leave me, saying no goodbye, Lest I might wake, and weep.
