anne hathaway was a kind of a mug that is appealing when filled with steaming tea
otherwise she looked appalling
will would fill her from time to time
he smelled a heap of lasses' hips and anne didn't quite like it though feigned she didn't care
then she kept cleansing herself for two days in a chapel nextdoor
her prayers felt inarticulately ragged
at the end she lost words and stood speechless scratching her haunch
lord would never come to rescue
lord just rusted like dew anne's bright swords
if anne were in his shoes she'd enamel the world silverish
silver gives you repose
with no one to praise no one to amaze no one to accuse and no one to abuse
green-eyed and uncreative anne wanted to doze
but when back at home
she heard the door clicking behind him
clenched her fists
and rushed to the desk and clutched at the pen and plunged into the papersea
and drowned
III
The bead curtain closed over her, closed behind her like water.

somebody's closed the shutters
recollection waifs started dawdling around
she went down to the bottom of the sea

before the mirror overcome with a racy emotion
your bones are marrowless your blood is cold
since sudden disharmony of matter
beneath skinclothes soaked with reminiscences
i cant keep the wolf from the door
i dont have no husband no bone no flesh
come come church mice ill flute you gentle song
ill name
a rivers mouth a squatters shit a scalds songfoliage a branch of dead blest wood a scavenger of
past a wraith of future the dragon and the grapes of wrath the bell tolling the dead mans knell the
graveyard knoll of a maiden girl the scurrying bride her limping groom a knockkneed cat the tact
of the dean the tack of a con tonk taw ton tock a ravens rage a dragons rave the crows raid to
gauge the grave of a redhead cock ticktock ticktock the coming dawn with a cutoff head the
coming dawn to paint hands scarlet the bloody lark to let the hopes turn to dust and ashes the
coming dawn to blow out the throat an make it gush with blood tuckntock tuckntock

VI
Methought the air got curdl'd taking fright,
None scented nothing, death had gaspt for breath,
Nor nightingales with laughter galed the night
The drenched nature lay as in Macbeth.
Thou wrote my poems were not worth a farthing.
My heart gave in, rhymes cleft it through in twain.
So cruel a reader, didst thou mourn our parting?
I wept out eyes in woethou woudst not deign.
Of yesternight's ordeal I come out feeble,
Words will not form in womb, thou didst thy worst:
Thy knife knowth not the wound it maketh. The evil
Hath wrung my handsto hold out thine thou never durst.
My will is ravisht, thence my mind bereft;
Ere cometh thy answer, will no self be left.

Carol Ann Duffy
ANNE HATHAWAY
'Item I gyve unto my wief my second best bed ...'
(from Shakespeare's will)
The bed we loved in was a spinning world
of forests, castles, torchlight, clifftops, seas
where he would dive for pearls. My lover's words
were shooting stars which fell to earth as kisses
on these lips; my body now a softer rhyme
to his, now echo, assonance; his touch
a verb dancing in the centre of a noun.
Some nights, I dreamed he'd written me, the bed
a page beneath his writer's hands. Romance
and drama played by touch, by scent, by taste.
In the other bed, the best, our guests dozed on,
dribbling their prose. My living laughing love
I hold him in the casket of my widow's head
as he held me upon that next best bed.

IX
PENELOPES WEB
Every midnight I strain my ears: arent you coming back.
My loin withers without a man. I fear
you might have died Ulysses could I shoulder on the burden?
In bed at dawn in sleepy eyes sun sees the answer, so must you:
dont seek no lips but yours no look but yours no fuck but yours.
Weaving this shroud toil for your cold father I kick out the ghostly voices
who repeat,
waves I am: you wily woman you need no husband you wanna go and
get pitched and rolled in any suitors lap.
I speak to tides they breathe and sigh they say youll come they say to
wait and wait but
I must be rock-like to keep falling asleep in the bed still warm as it remembers your bodys warmth
I never was like that. Im kind of pregnant
with a new Penelope youll find on return.
I love you like your native land. I cannot go on. Come back.
I love you like your native land. I cannot go on. Come back
with a new Penelopeyoull find on return
I never was like that. Im kinda pregnant.
