  1. Anne Carson _ Autobiography of Red

    He / thought of women. / What is it like to be a woman / listening in the dark? Black mantle of silence / stretches between them like geothermal pressure. / Ascent of the rapist up the stairs seems as slow as / lava. She listens / to the blank space where / his consciousness is, moving towards her. Lava can / move as slow as / nine hours per inch. {...} She wonders if / he is listening too. The cruel thing is, she falls asleep / listening.
