fourteen when I dream
I don't want to be like Sylvia Plath
she was too much, too much
rolled in an egg
rolled in a grave
white on my leg
I sit in a bar fleshed with idiot passions
people who say hello they mean it
but then I have no impotent husband
just barren moons. peek

yellow faces
when I killed my only child
(who was a boy, yes) pale
drained of our blood
burst the egg broken
he would have conquered the kittens
cept they were screaming at the window
I put my fist through.
I manage it every week.
