Consorting Avec Des Anges

by Anne Sexton

J'tais fatigu d'tre une femme, fatigu des cuillres et du
poteau, fatigu de ma bouche et de mes seins, fatigu des produits
de beaut et des soies. Il y avait des hommes immobiles qui se sont
assiss ma table, cercls autour de la cuvette que j'ai offerte
vers le haut. La cuvette a t remplie des raisins pourpres et les
mouches ont plan dedans pour le parfum et mme mon pre est venu
avec son os blanc. Mais j'tais fatigu des choses de genre.

La nuit passe j'ai eu un rve et j'ai dit lui "tu es la
rponse. Tu survivras mon mari et mon pre." Du fait le rve
l tait une ville a fait des chanes o Joan a t mis la
mort dans des vtements de l'homme et la nature des anges a disparu
non explique, le non deux a fait dans la mme espce, une avec un
nez, une avec une oreille dans sa main, on mchant une toile et
enregistrant son orbite, chacune comme une posie s'obissant,
excutant les fonctions de Dieu, un peuple part.

"tu es la rponse," I dit, et crit, se trouvant vers le bas sur les
portes de la ville. Alors les chanes ont t attaches autour de
moi et j'ai perdu mon genre commun et mon aspect final. Adam tait du
ct gauche de moi et la veille tait du ct droit de moi, tous
les deux compltement contradictoires avec le monde de la raison.
Nous avons tiss nos bras ensemble et sommes monts sous le soleil.
Je n'tais pas une femme plus, non une chose ou l'autre.

Les drivs de O de Jrusalem, le roi m'a introduit dans sa
chambre. Je suis noir et je suis beau. J'ai t ouvert et
dshabill. Je n'ai aucun bras ou jambe. Je suis chacune des une
peau comme un poisson. Je ne suis plus une femme que le Christ tait
un homme.
