To Have Written the Truth by Adrienne Rich
Performed by
Adrienne RichTo Have Written the Truth Annotated
To have spent hours stalking the whine of an insect
have smashed its body in blood on a door
then lain sleepless with rage
to have played in the ship’s orchestra crossing
the triangle route
dissonant arpeggios under cocktail clatter
to have written the truth in a lightning flash
then crushed those words in your hand
balled-up and smoking
when self-absolution
easygoing pal of youth
leans in the doorframe
Kid, you always
took yourself so hard!
