• The first time it happened I was ten.
  It was an accident.
  
  The second time I meant
  To last it out and not come back at all.
  I rocked shut
  
  As a seashell.
  They had to call and call
  And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.

  Is an art, like everything else.
  I do it exceptionally well.
  
  I do it so it feels like hell.
  I do it so it feels real.
  I guess you could say I've a call.

  Sylvia Plath

  and a muddy petticoat

  eyes are sticky with
  dream and you have a sloppy body from
  
  being brought to bed of crocuses
  when you sing in your whisky voice
  the grass rises on the head of the earth
  and all the trees are put on edge
  
  spring
  of the excellent jostle of
  thy hips
  and the superior
