Ursula Le Guin, 'The Drowned Girl'

[tea_drinker77]

My head is wet
My head is wet

Something
Something
I forget

I did not want to wash my hair

Something terrible
unbearable
or maybe not

Sometimes babies are born dead

It doesn't matter
in the water
what I wanted or forgot

Sinister little poem from Le Guin which I saw posted on greatpoets lj.
