[Adrienne Rich - I Am in Danger - Sir - " lyrics]
"I Am in Danger - Sir - "
"Half-cracked" to Higginson, living
Afterward famous in garbled versions
Your hoard of dazzling scraps a battlefield
Now your old snood
Mothballed at Harvard
And you in your variorum monument
Equivocal to the end - who are you?
Gardening the day-lily
Wiping the wine-glass stems
Your thought pulsed on behind
A forehead battered paper-thin
You, woman, masculine in single-mindedness
For whom the word was more than a symptom -
A condition of being
Till the air buzzing with spoiled language
Sang in your ears of Perjury
And in your half-cracked way you chose
Silence for entertainment
Chose to have it out at last
On your own premises
"Half-cracked" to Higginson, living
Afterward famous in garbled versions
Your hoard of dazzling scraps a battlefield
Now your old snood
Mothballed at Harvard
And you in your variorum monument
Equivocal to the end - who are you?
Gardening the day-lily
Wiping the wine-glass stems
Your thought pulsed on behind
A forehead battered paper-thin
You, woman, masculine in single-mindedness
For whom the word was more than a symptom -
A condition of being
Till the air buzzing with spoiled language
Sang in your ears of Perjury
And in your half-cracked way you chose
Silence for entertainment
Chose to have it out at last
On your own premises
