Ode to Plath
so many paths
never saved plath
a multi faceted mind
that fused and
blew her very top
a thousand images
her acute mind
picked up
and worked
into her poem failed
to save her from
inadequacy
one by one
they opened
like internet sites
to reveal only
a double locked prison
damp and cold
to dispirit her of life
every poem
to soothe and
tame a bruised soul
returned again
and again to haunt
the protagonist
prison upon prison
