Why Do They Shut Me Out Of Heaven? - Emily Dickinson

Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing—too loud?
But—I can say a little "Minor"
Timid as a Bird!

Wouldn't the Angels try me
Just—once—more
Just—see—if I troubled them
But don't—shut the door!

Oh, if I—were the Gentleman
In the "White Robe"
And they—were the little Hand—that knocked
Could—I—forbid?

To My Daughter The Junkie On A Train - Audre Lorde

Children we have not borne bedevil us by becoming themselves painfully sharp and unavoidable like a needle in our flesh. Coming home on the subway from a PTA meeting of minds committed like murder or suicide to their own private struggle a long-legged girl with a horse in her brain slumps down beside me begging to be ridden asleep for the price of a midnight train free from desire. Little girl on the nod if we are measured by the dreams we avoid then you are the nightmare of all sleeping mothers rocking back and forth the dead weight of your arms locked about our necks heavier than our habit of looking for reasons. My corrupt concern will not replace what you once needed but I am locked into my own addictions and offer you my help, one eye out for my own station. Roused and deprived your costly dream explodes into a terrible technicoloured laughter at my failure up and down across the aisle women avert their eyes as the other mothers who became usel...

Vespers - Louise Glück (from Wild Iris)

You thought we didn't know. But we knew once, children know these things. Don't turn away now—           we inhabited a lie to appease you. I remember sunlight of early spring, embankments netted with dark vinca. I remember lying in a field, touching my brother's body. Don't turn away now; we denied memory to console you. We mimicked you, reciting the terms of our punishment. I remember some of it, not all of it: deceit begins as forgetting. I remember small things, flowers growing under the hawthorn tree, bells of the wild scilla. Not all, but enough to know you exist: who else had reason to create mistrust between a brother and sister but the one who profited, to whom we turned in solitude? Who else would so envy the bond we had then as to tell us it was not earth but heaven we were losing? [From: Glück, L. (1992) The Wild Iris . Hopewell, NJ: Ecco Press, p44]

Route - George Oppen

' the void eternally generative ' the Wen Fu of Lu Chi 1 Tell the beads of the chromosomes like a rosary, Love in the genes, if it fails We will produce no sane man again I have seen too many young people become adults, young            friends become old people, all that is not ours, The sources And the crude bone                      —we say Took place Like the mass of the hills. 'The sun is a molten mass'. Therefore Fall into oneself—? Reality, blind eye Which has taught us to stare— Your elbow on a car-edge Incognito as summer, I wrote. Not you but a girl At least  Clarity, clarity, surely clarity is the most beautiful             thing in the world, A limited, limiting clarity I have not and never...
