daddy  

by sylvia plath

...

Bit my pretty red heart in two.
I was ten when they buried you.
At twenty I tried to die
And get back, back, back to you.
I thought even the bones would do.

... 

... 

And a love of the rack and the screw.
And I said I do, I do.
So daddy, I'm finally through.
The black telephone's off at the root,
The voices just can't worm through.

...

...

If I've killed one man, I've killed two--
The vampire who said he was you
And drank my blood for a year,
Seven years, if you want to know.
Daddy, you can lie back now.

 ...

 ...

There's a stake in your fat black heart 

And the villagers never liked you. 

They are dancing and stamping on you. 

They always knew it was you. 

Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.

2.

"Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humaneness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism; that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy."

Marquis de Sade

missing cellphone. losing money. my car was stolen in front of my home. yet a friend came by to give me her old phone. support poured in from the deepest unknown of their souls. how can I not be so appreciative? in the end - an attitude of gratitude is important... or you'll lose your mind.

notebook  by robert lowell

and here on this wavy earth, we, like the others,
too thoughtful clods, may learnfrom those we walk on:
star-nosed moles, their cataonic tunnels
and barrows... only in touch with what they touch;
blind fur, in mourning, black from shying at limelight,
not as we would, or lowest serf---
vegetating and protective creatures,
forever falling short of our shortest life.
