God is only mocked by believers.
Words for Dr. Y (1978)
Death,
I need my little addiction to you.
need that tiny voice who,
even as I rise from the sea,
all woman, all there,
says kill me, kill me.
Words for Dr. Y (1978)
Here in the hospital, I say,
that is not my body, not my body.
I am not here for the doctors
to read like a recipe.
Words for Dr. Y (1978)
I begin again, Dr.Y,
this neverland journal,
full of my own sense of filth.
Why else keep a journal, if not
to examine your own filth?
