Anne Tammel - Poet - Speaker - Author of Fiction
Endless: A Literate Passion
Anais Nin to Henry Miller
My search for you is
endless…
Searching, seeming
like a
wife, an insatiable wife. A lover
of
silk, and words, and your breath.
You taunt me; a lost
baby rests
at the
tip of my torture. Your torment
travels
through me as I travel
morning
trains, and cafes--
Paris, and ships to
Spain—and then
America…where I will
fight
not to
remember your name.
An endless list of
lovers, knowing only
my wholeness, my silhouette parfaite. If they knew--
if
they were seized by you—seized by
your
words, fighting to forget the
supreme immolation of
the ego:
motherhood,
that
endless,
volatile
curse.
And Hugh waits, an
endless trail
of
dull husbandry; I wait
an
endless amount of time,
until our
lives
have
become dust
and
history,
and red
silk journals
are
covered
in
sweat…
