i'm the clean dawn light
breaking home bonds
bringing breath
laughter empty space
.
haiku
.
i enjoy myself again
as i never remember having done
though i broke my home
though i broke
comfort
i feel cleanly shattered
peels of laughter shimmer
breath released from
under the agony
of what has gone
on
alone
is beginning
is fun
i'm this
after-life beginning
to live
i'm light, hon
.
' I simply cannot go on living the … agonizing life I've been living … I want a clean break, so I can breathe and laugh and enjoy myself again'.
Sylvia Plath
august 1962, letter to mother
