An eclectic and vivid presented collection of harmonic and confluent poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Bring Me Her Heart is an eclectic and vivid presented collection of harmonic and confluent poetry drawn from the lyrical work of Sarah Getty. The Unveiling Of Truth: Sargent, sketch for a mural: If Truth sat on a chair, not/the ground. If the drape revealed/more than the bumps of brow, nose,//breast and knee. If that gesture --/hands head-high and still under/the veil, ready to throw back//the black-on-white charcoaled folds --/were not so like our nightmares/of the sheeted dead, rising.//If she looked less like she might flap/and fly, albino vampiress,/half-blind in this dim room's light.//If Salome had not danced./If Truth were not a woman.//If we knew of cauls.
