Never understanding

A Book of Endings
But suicides have a special language.
Like carpenters they want to know which tools.
They never ask why build.

-- Anne Sexton, Wanting to Die

Thankfully, I want most to know 'why build'.



Thief --
how did you crawl into,

crawl down alone
into the death I wanted so badly and for so long,

-- Anne Sexton, Sylvia's Death
