To Sylvia

I would have loved to ask you to
carve a crevice in my tongue
and fill it with your black ink sorcery

I would have loved to kiss your sacred
hands and bite them to see if they bleed
or maybe metaphors run your veins instead

I would have loved to see you die and
watch your muscles squirm to stillness
to feel your precious eyes beneath my envy
closing them gently
“I like black statements”
-Sylvia Plath in Little Fugue

If only! This is fantastic.

I'm keeping it.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
(by Virginia Woolf)
