Inside the Bell Jar...

"To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream. I remembered everything. Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind of snow, should numb and cover them. But they were part of me. They were my landscape." ~Sylvia Plath

poet (written 06/06)

I am a poet

I have nothing but ink-stained fingers
calloused from the perpetual agony
of deciphering the transposed words in my head

wads of paper litter my well-kept desk
hopes and dreams collected and pushed aside
only to be tomorrow's trash
