Sylvia Plath.
By Lara Carolina Widmann.
“i wonder if sylvia ever worked a night shift, / because / soaked in hospital lighting, / it did not look like art.“

a midsummer night’s dream by Katarzyna Wasilewska.
i wonder if sylvia ever worked a night shift,
because
soaked in hospital lighting,
it did not look like art.
less dark,
not even romantic,
unless you fancied pebbles of phosphor,
and coppery sheets.
bones eating their way through like
moths caught in a wardrobe
worth a lifetime.
come, sit by my grave one day.
did you not teach me about dying?
