Plath, Sylvia: Contusion

Portre of Plath, Sylvia

Contusion (English)

Color floods to the spot, dull purple.

The rest of the body is all washed out,

The color of pearl.

 

In a pit of rock

The sea sucks obsessively,

One hollow the whole sea's pivot.

 

The size of a fly,

The doom mark

Crawls down the wall.

 

The heart shuts,

The sea slides back,

The mirrors are sheeted.
