Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.
Sylvia Plath

I have this demon who wants me to run away screaming if I am going to be flawed, fallible. It wants me to think I'm so good I must be perfect. Or nothing. I am, on the contrary, something: a being who gets tired, has shyness to fight, has more trouble than most facing people easily.

It is what the dead close on, finally I imagine them Shutting their mouths on it, like a Communion tablet.

Sylvia Plath
Image
I used to pray to recover you.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn't speak.
Sylvia Plath

The box is only temporary.

O heart, such disorganization!
Sylvia Plath

Perhaps you considered yourself an oracle, Mouthpiece of the dead, or of some god or other. Thirty years now I have labored To dredge the silt from your throat. I am none the wiser.
Sylvia Plath
