A thousand doors ago
when I was a lonely kid
in a big house with four
garages and it was summer
as long as I could remember,

of yellow heat running out,
my father's window, half shut,
an eye where sleepers pass,
and the boards of the house
were smooth and white as wax
and probably a million leaves
sailed on their strange stalks
as the crickets ticked together
and I, in my brand new body,
which was not a woman's yet,
told the stars my questions
and thought God could really see
the heat and the painted light,
elbows, knees, dreams, goodnight.

(Anne Sexton)

집의 널빤지들은
