Literature Text

the smell of the kitchen floor.
six days ago you left a note,

and promised the world you would die.
your eyes are destiny,

i can see the patterns aligning
in the stars. there is

consecration in the grief.
coins flashing last-day sighs,

your lips pink and pink
against chalky exhaustion.

your mind was truth.
you left textures in the darkness

and the candle flames. linoleum and dried milk
and gasoline. beautiful, you thought.
thanks to my beloved english lit teacher emily, i have discovered sylvia plath
her work is amazing
she was very sad though
she committed suicide at the age of thirty by turning on the gas and sticking her head in the stove. look her up on google
a birthday present is an amazing poem
