"Housewife"
Some women marry houses. It's another kind of skin; it has a heart, a mouth, a liver and bowel movements. The walls are permanent and pink. See how she sits on her knees all day, faithfully washing herself down. Men enter by force, drawn back like Jonah into their fleshy mothers. A woman is her mother. That's the main thing.
—Anne Sexton

I understood it, until the end...
But I still enjoyed it...
Thank you, and I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier...

I get it. I suppose I think a bit indistinctly, or at least not quite clear--as well.
