To Emily and Her Friends
I'd like to be one
of your friends and maybe
from a distance I will.
You don't seem the "snob" poet type-
just a whole lot better than present company.
I can't really hold that against you.
But how did you do it?
bottled up inside so often
away; far far away
yet with such passion and flavor
did you spike the language that we taste,
savor
and still are clueless to your recipe.
You seemed to live life to the fullest
in such a solitude
yet you bore your soul open
like bare breasts for all to see
and they were different from the rest.
You spoke of death with the authority
of one who has been on that side
still your words live in the tender
and the most sensual sides of life.
I might just be your friend too;
from a distance.

Those Pesky News People
Take That! the Republicans said in reply....
What is the aversion the GOP has to constitutionally protected rights?
The Missouri House Republicans have become such an embarrassment to the people in this state.

More on Plath
"Damn, she could write." THOR KAH HOONG discusses his avoidance of Sylvia Plath's journals. His Master's project was Plath. He expresses gratitude that the journals had not been published at the time of his project or he would have been "paralysed (sic) with the effort of absorbing all the material in the journals and slotting them into my Grand Illusion."
Note: I am presently reading her Journals. Along with Letters Home, they make a most interesting compendiumm to her work.
