Sylvia Plath - Ariel

Sylvia Plath - Ariel

Stasis in darkness. br Then the substanceless blue br Pour of tor and distances. br br God's lioness, br How one we grow, br Pivot of heels and knees! ---The furrow br br Splits and passes, sister to br The brown arc br Of the neck I cannot catch, br br Nigger-eye br Berries cast dark br Hooks --- br br Black sweet blood mouthfuls, br Shadows. br Something else br br Hauls me through air --- br Thighs, hair; br Flakes from my heels. br br White br Godiva, I unpeel --- br Dead hands, dead stringencies. br br And now I br Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas. br The child's cry br br Melts in the wall. br And I br Am the arrow, br br The dew that flies, br Suicidal, at one with the drive br Into the red br br Eye, the cauldron of morning.
