Anne Sexton frasi celebri

“Un bacio nell'incavo
del ginocchio è un fruscio
di falena alla zanzariera e
sì amore mio un puntino
luminoso sull'ecometro è
Campanellino con la tossetta
e due volte perderò l'onore
e le stelle saranno confitte
come puntine nella notte
sì oh sì sì sì due
chioccioline all'incavo
del ginocchio che accen-
dono falò simili a ci-
glia che sfregano sì sì sì
come pietrina d'accendino bic:
e così esisto!”

“Come è stato detto:
Amore e tosse
non può essere nascosto
Anche un piccolo colpo di tosse.
Anche un piccolo amore.”
