“On the day of breasts and small hips

the window pocked with bad rain,

rain coming on like a minister,

we coupled, so sane and insane.

We lay like spoons while the sinister

rain dropped like flies on our lips

and our glad eyes and our small hips.

"The room is so cold with rain," you said

and you, feminine you, with your flower

said novenas to my ankles and elbows.

You are a national product and power.

Oh my swan, my drudge, my dear wooly rose,

even a notary would notarize our bed

as you knead me and I rise like bread.”

— “Song For A Lady,” a poem by Anne Sexton (1969)
