I Go Back to May 1937 (from The Gold Cell) by Sharon Olds<\/a>
\nI see them standing at the formal gates of their colleges,
\nI see my father strolling out
\nunder the ochre sandstone arch,
\nthe red tiles glinting like bent
\nplates of blood behind his head,
\nI see my mother with a few light books at her hip
\nstanding at the pillar made of tiny bricks with the
\nwrought-iron gate still open behind her,
\nits sword-tips black in the May air,
\nthey are about to graduate, they are about to get married,
\nthey are kids, they are dumb,
\nall they know is they are innocent, they would never hurt anybody.
\nI want to go up to them and say Stop,
\ndon’t do it–she’s the wrong woman,
\nhe’s the wrong man, you are going to do things
\nyou cannot imagine you would ever do,
\nyou are going to do bad things to children,
\nyou are going to suffer in ways you never heard of,
\nyou are going to want to die. I want to go
\nup to them there in the late May sunlight and say it,
\nher hungry pretty blank face turning to me,
\nher pitiful beautiful untouched body,
\nhis arrogant handsome blind face turning to me,
\nhis pitiful beautiful untouched body,
\nbut I don’t do it. I want to live.
\nI take them up like the male and female
\npaper dolls and bang them together
\nat the hips like chips of flint as if to
\nstrike sparks from them, I say
\nDo what you are going to do, and I will tell about it. <\/p>\n
