Ein Leben

by Sylvia Plath

Es berhren: es schrumpft nicht wie ein Augapfel, dieser Ei-geformter
Machtbereich, freier Raum als Ri. Hier gestern, ist letztes Jahr ---
Palme-Stange und die Lilie, die als Flora im betrchtlichen Windless
threadwork einer Tapisserie eindeutig ist.

Das Glas mit Ihrem Fingernagel schlagen: Er ping wie ein chinesisches
Glockenspiel in der geringfgigsten Luft rhrt zwar niemand innen
schaut dort oben oder strt zu antworten. Die Einwohner sind als
Korken hell, jedes von ihnen dauerhaft beschftigt.

An ihren Fen beugten die Sewellen in der einzelnen Akte.
bertretend nie, in der schlechten Laune: Innen mitten in der Luft
festklemmen, Kurz-short-reined, ttschelnd wie paradeground Pferde.
Obenliegend, sitzen die Wolken tasseled und Phantasie

Als viktorianische Kissen. Diese Familie der valentine Gesichter konnte
einem Sammler gefallen: Sie schellen zutreffendes, wie gutes
Porzellan.

Anderwohin ist die Landschaft aufrichtiger. Das Licht fllt ohne
letup, blindingly.

Eine Frau schleppt ihren Schatten in einem Kreis ber einen kahlen
Krankenhaus Saucer. Er hnelt dem Mond oder einem Blatt des
unbelegten Papiers und scheint, eine Art des privaten Blitzkrieges
erlitten zu haben. Sie lebt ruhig

Ohne Zubehre wie ein Ftus in einer Flasche, das berholte Haus,
das Meer, flachgedrckt zu einer Abbildung hat sie ein zu viele
Mae, zum hereinzukommen. Leid und der Zorn, exorziert, lt ihr
allein jetzt.

Die Zukunft ist eine graue Seemwe Tattling in seiner Katze-Stimme
der Abfahrt. Alter und Terror, wie Krankenschwestern, sorgt sich sie,
und ein ertrunkener Mann, Beschweren der groen Klte, kriecht oben
aus dem Meer heraus.
