Stillborn [part Ii]

..And still the lungs won't fill and the heart won't start.

They are not pigs, they are not even fish,
Though.thay have a piggy and a fishy air__
It would be better if they were alive, and that's what they were.
But they are dead, and their mother near dead with distraction,
And they stupidly stare, and do not speak of her.



Stillborn [part 1]

These poems do not live: it's a sad diagnosis
They grew their toes and fingers well enough,
Their little foreheads bulged with concentration.
If they missed out on walking about like people
It wasn't for any lack of mother love.

O I cannot understand what happened to them!
They are proper in shape and number and every part.
They sit so nicely in the pickling fluid!
They smile and smile and smile and smile at me.
And still the lungs won't fill..

in 1963, she again attempted to shrug off life’s pain. she succeeded, but faced, even in death, the crucible of being misinterpreted by people who’d purported to love her. publication of ‘the bell jar’ was delayed either because her mother didn’t want people to see her through her daughter’s eyes or because sylvia wanted to spare her the scrutiny.

her depression often overshadows her staggering achievements as a woman whose literary genius (she was capable not just of painting pictures with her words, but of placing you smack in the middle of an emotion ocean) couldn’t be suppressed. sylvia’s brilliance was a shot of adrenaline to the arm of second-wave feminism, giving voice to female intellect, emotion & experience.

see, sylvia plath was the first one to assure me that it’s okay to not be okay - & i’m certainly not alone under her pedagogy.
since my initial prepubescent brush with ‘the bell jar’, i’ve lived by its imparted wisdom - most especially: ‘if you expect nothing from somebody, you are never disappointed.’ it strikes me as much more optimistic than it sounds.
