After Reading Sylvia Plath

Death is waking
In the still quiet screaming
Voices words never hear
In a living ear.

Night is a rain falling
In a dry wishing well,
Fell echoes whispering,
whimpering, whispered out.

The forest, here, is trees
All cut down, pale stumps
Glorious sublimity
In the sigh of a breeze.
