        Virginia Woolf's
       With Anticipation

This is an incredible place: oppressive
and red in its intensity.

Every moment in this abolished world
is unreal. Light glares its hostility

and metal flowers quiver with cold.
I do not have a normal body

here; I have lost the appearance of
somebody whole and only feel

a prickly blankness. This morbid place
sharpens my indifference—so I cut

people open with a knife-blade
to see a flash of their wavering

being, to see them
undergo transformation. I know

now that there is extraordinary
pleasure in cruelty.
