Adrienne Rich - The Ninth Symphony of Beethoven Understood at Last as a Sexual Message lyrics

[Adrienne Rich - The Ninth Symphony of Beethoven Understood at Last as a Sexual Message lyrics]

A man in terror of impotence
Or infertility, not knowing the difference
A man trying to tell something
Howling from the climacteric
Music of the entirely isolated soul
Yelling at Joy from the tunnel of the ego
Music without the ghost
Of another person in it, music
Trying to tell something the man
Does not want out, would keep if he could
Gagged and bound and flogged
With chords of Joy
Where everything is silence and the
Beating of a bloody fist upon
A splintered table
