Conscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
Conscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
It’s spring: it’s far too late to slowly escape the wintry stupor
Instead, be flung from it into bright colours and kitsch and too-loud eyes and new-fangled sounds
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open…
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.
You do not do, you do not do
Any more, black shoe
i bought shakespeare though
if you’re having quidditch problems i feel for you son
i got 99 problems but a snitch ain’t one
omg i’m howling
(inside)
What a thrill ——
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of hingeOf skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush.Little pilgrim,
The Indian’s axed your scalp.
Your turkey wattle
Carpet rollsStraight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle
Of pink fizz. A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.Whose side are they one?
O my
Homunculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to killThe thin
Papery feeling.
Saboteur,
Kamikaze man ——The stain on your
Gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when
The balled
Pulp of your heart
Confronts its small
Mill of silenceHow you jump ——
Trepanned veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thumb stump.
Sylvia Plath
(this is my favourite poem, which is weird considering I am extremely squeamish)
