In her widow’s purse
my mother carries
a thought heavier
than her heartwhen no one’s looking
she takes it out
and examines it

she sews a blanket
from the thread of that thought
to tuck us all inonly its familiar weight
could make us fall asleeponly its maternal dark
could make us luminous.—Charles Simic, “Between Parentheses”

How often have you bartered with bone, only to sell yourself short?
Why do you find the unavailable so alluring?
Where did it begin? What went wrong? And who made you feel so worthless?
If they wanted you, wouldn’t they have chosen you?

How are you both of these women, both flighty and needful?
Where did you learn this, to want what does not want you?
Where did you learn this, to leave those that want to stay?”
