“Another Weeping Woman” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 18792 Aug 1955)
Pour the unhappiness out
From your too bitter heart,
Which grieving will not sweeten.
Poison grows in this dark.
It is in the water of tears
Its black blooms rise.
The magnificent cause of being—
The imagination, the one reality
In this imagined world—
Leaves you
With him for whom no phantasy moves,
And you are pierced by a death.
