ARIEL . . . poems by
SYLVA PLATH
published 1965 , two years after her death .
Tears are the toils
I've taken
The splinter in your eye
The rock
That your foot
Stumbles upon
I was the albatross
Around
The neck of your dreams
Of oblivion
Was I the
Ravager
Of the pure
The innocent
The apple
Of Desire
. . . was I
