Poetry Analysis/ Discussion Tulips The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.
dev03.message.text
Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in.
dev03.message.text
I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly As the light lies on these white walls, this bed, these hands.
dev03.message.text
I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions.
dev03.message.text
I have given my name and my day-clothes up to the nurses And my history to the anesthetist and my body to surgeons.
dev03.message.text
They have propped my head between the pillow and the sheet-cuff Like an eye between two white lids that will not shut.
dev03.message.text
Stupid pupil, it has to take everything in. The nurses pass and pass, they are no trouble, They pass the way gulls pass inland in their white caps, Doing things with their hands, one just the same as another, So it is impossible to tell how many there are.
dev03.message.text
My body is a pebble to them, they tend it as water Tends to the pebbles it must run over, smoothing them gently.
dev03.message.text
They bring me numbness in their bright needles, they bring me sleep Now I have lost myself I am sick of baggage My patent leather overnight case like a black pillbox, My husband and child smiling out of the family photo; Their smiles catch onto my skin, little smiling hooks.
dev03.message.text
I have let things slip, a thirty-year~old cargo boat Stubbornly hanging on to my name and address.
dev03.message.text
They have swabbed me clear of my loving associations.
dev03.message.text
Scared and bare on the green plastic-pillowed trolley I watched my teaset, my bureaus of linen, my books Sink out of sight, and the water went over my head.
dev03.message.text
I am a nun now, I have never been so pure.
dev03.message.text
I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted To lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.
dev03.message.text
How free it is, you have no idea how free - The peacefulness is so big it dazes you, And it asks nothing, a name tag, a few trinkets.
dev03.message.text
It is what the dead close on, finally; I imagine them Shutting their mouths on it, like a Communion tablet.
dev03.message.text
The tulips are too red in the first place, they hurt me.
dev03.message.text
Even through the gift paper I could hear them breathe Lightly, through their white swaddlings, like an awful baby.
dev03.message.text
Their redness talks to my wound, it corresponds.
dev03.message.text
They are subtle: they seem to float, though they weigh me down Upsetting me with their sudden tongues and their color, A dozen red lead sinkers round my neck.
dev03.message.text
Nobody watched me before, now I am watched.
dev03.message.text
The tulips turn to me, and the window behind me Where once a day the light slowly widens and slowly thins, And I see myself, flat, ridiculous, a cut-paper shadow Between the eye of the sun and the eyes of the tulips, And I have no face, I have wanted to efface myself The vivid tulips eat my oxygen.
dev03.message.text
Before they came the air was calm enough, Coming and going, breath by breath, without any fuss.
dev03.message.text
Then the tulips filled it up like a loud noise.
dev03.message.text
Now the air snags and eddies round them the way a river Snags and eddies round a sunken rust-red engine.
dev03.message.text
They concentrate my attention, that was happy Playing and resting without committing itself.
dev03.message.text
The walls, also, seem to be warming themselves.
dev03.message.text
The tulips should be behind bars like dangerous animals; They are opening like the mouth of some great African cat, And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
dev03.message.text
The water I taste is warm and salt, like the sea, And comes from a country far away as health.
dev03.message.text
Look forward to meeting you in Houston.
dev03.message.text
