She discovered Poetry in Prison
On Visitation Day
Her Husband
Slid Her Volumes
Under Tempered Glass
Always arriving early & sleepless
Having spent the night
In a state of panic
Struggling
With what to write
In the blank spaces
Of Title Pages
"To the Woman who killed Her Brother"
"To the Woman who took Revenge"
"To the Woman who refused to live in Fear"
THE COMPLETE WORKS OF W.H. AUDEN
