Olds, Sharon
I want to go
up to them there in the late May sunlight and say it,
her hungry pretty face turning to me
her pitiful beautiful untouched body,
his arrogant handsome face turning to me,
his pitiful beautiful untouched body,
but I don’t do it. I want to live.
– Sharon Olds, “I Go Back to May 1937”
