Found Today on Poetry.Org

from One Hundred Quatrains BY PATRIZIA VALDUGA


TRANSLATED BY GEOFFREY BROCK

By now you know: I need the words.
You'll learn to give me what I seek.
It's my sick mind, it feeds on words.
I'm begging you, for God's sake: speak!

Hurry, pin my wrists in place,
nail me to your bed like Christ . . .
comfort me, caress my face . . .
fuck me when I expect it least.
