Thinking of Anne Sexton

thinking of Anne Sexton

The rusted bone

Its edges frayed

left in the ashtray

after the party

where she watched

him flirt

And then later overfilled her glass

with gin

In the morning

the fine lines by her eyes

were longer

she saw as she lifted the mascara to her eyelash
