Wanting To Die



Anne Sexton







Since you ask, most days I cannot remember


I walk in my clothing, unmarked by that voyage


Then the most unnameable lust returns




....



Even then I have nothing against life


I know well the grass blades you mention


the furniture you have placed under the sun




....



But suicides have a special language


Like carpenters they want to know which tools


They never ask why build




....



Twice I have so simply declared myself


have possessed the enemy, eaten the enemy


have taken on his craft, his magic




....



In this way, heavy and thoughtful


warmer than oil or water


I have rested, drooling at the mouth-hole




....



I did not think of my body at needle point


Even the cornea and the leftover urine were gone


Suicides have already betrayed the body




....



Still-born, they don't always die


but dazzled, they can't forget a drug so sweet


that even children would look on and smile




....



To thrust all that life under your tongue


that, all by itself, becomes a passion


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 love, whatever it was, an infection




.... .... .... ....

هذي دمشقُ وهذي الكأسُ والرّاحُ
إنّي أحبُّ... وبعـضُ الحبِّ ذبّاحُ
أنا الدمشقيُّ لو شرحتمُ جسدي .. لسالَ منهُ عناقيـدٌ وتفـّاحُ
ولو فتحتُم شراييني بمديتكم .. سمعتمُ في دمي أصواتَ من راحوا
زراعةُ القلبِ تشفي بعضَ من عشقوا .. وما لقلبي إذا أحببتُ جرّاحُ
مآذنُ الشّـامِ تبكي إذ تعانقني .. وللمآذنِ كالأشجارِ أرواحُ
للياسمينِ حقـوقٌ في منازلنا.. وقطّةُ البيتِ تغفو حيثُ ترتاحُ
طاحونةُ البنِّ جزءٌ من طفولتنا .. فكيفَ أنسى؟ وعطرُ الهيلِ فوّاحُ
هذا مكانُ "أبي المعتزِّ".. منتظرٌ ووجهُ "فائزةٍ" حلوٌ ولمّاحُ
هنا جذوري هنا قلبي .. هنا لغـتي فكيفَ أوضحُ؟
هل في العشقِ إيضاحُ؟
