| Elizabeth Bishop: Pansies, 1960, watercolour and gouache. |
You know how I feel when I write?
As if I bring to the market
pieces of my being and sell them!
pieces of my being and sell them!
I am ashamed! Ashamed! Pain!
It's so Persistent in here!
I talk to my internal self
about what I see from you
nodding and challenging me
O'Brother! I sell my soul!
For a look at your
seductive unknown heart
Alone I cringe to the end
so I delightfully offer to myself
the shivering I share with you in there!
the shivering I share with you in there!
Methexis in your revealing
feelings celebration!
