You're
Clownlike, happiest on your hands,
Feet to the stars, and moon-skulled,
Grilled like a fish. A common sense
Thumbs down on the dodo's mode.
Wrapped up in yourself like a spool,
Trawling your dark as owl's do.
Mute as a turnip from the Fourth
of July to All Fools' Day
O high-riser, my little loaf.
Vague as fog and looked for like mail.
Farther off than Australia.
Bent-backed Atlas, our traveled prawn.
Snug as a bug and at home
Like a sprat in a pickle jug.
A creel of eels, all ripples.
Jumpy as a Mexican bean.
Right, like a well-done sum.
A clean slate, with your own face on.
January/February 1960 ~ Sylvia Plath.
I want you to write like Sylvia Plath.
Thank you.
