Ariel
by Sylvia Plath
Stasis in darkness.
Then the substanceless blue
Pour of tor and distances.
God's lioness,
How one we grow,
Pivot of heels and knees!–––The furrow
Splits and passes, sister to
The brown arc
Of the neck I cannot catch,
Nigger-eye
Berries cast dark
Hooks–––
Black sweet blood mouthfuls,
Shadows.
Something else
Hauls me through air–––
Thighs, hair;
Flakes from my heels.
White
Godiva, I unpeel–––
Dead hands, dead stringencies.
And now I
Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas.
The child's cry
Melts in the wall,
And I
Am the arrow,
The dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red
Eye, the cauldron of morning.

I Real
by Sally Vat Hip
Artisan's desk sins.
She be butch nun, tesselates
Draftsperson out on acid.
Gneiss so old,
We go own whore,
She honk off representative!–––Would
Stripteases stop, sans lids
Crab threw on
Tectonic chant honk face?
Grey genie
A berserk dirt sac
Shook–––
Mud befouls wok's tablecloths,
Wash sod.
Hot gel nemesis
Righteous hurl a ham–––
Hit hash rig;
Er, smoke half myself.
We hit
Evil pod guinea–––
Added Dad's internecine gash.
Down in a
Hailstorm, a goat waste toffee.
Her child cyst
Win lethal smelt,
An id
Hew a mortar,
Heft lewd atheist
Heavenward, I cut lithe idiots
To tend heir
Reentering, moan of holy cud.
