Got a call from one of the owners of my local bookstore, Northtown Books, this morning.  They want to do a worm-themed window display and thought they’d include a poem about worms.  I suggested an Anne Sexton poem, Earthworm, from her book 45 Mercy Street.  Here's an excerpt: Have you no beginning and end? Which heart is the real one? Which eye the seer? Why is it in the infinite plan that you would be severed and rise from the dead like a gargoyle with two heads?   More earthworm poetry coming soon. 12:42:36 PM    comment []
