MAD GIRL’S LOVE SONG
A Villanelle
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
God topples from the sky, hell’s fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan’s men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I fancied you’d return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
–Sylvia Plath, written 1954, in: The Collected Poems, 1981

Each day demands we create our whole world over, disguising the constant horror in a coat of many-colored fictions; we mask out past in the green of Eden, pretend future's shining fruit can sprout from the navel of this present waste.

In his eye's darkroom I can see my X-rayed heart, dissected body: I am sending back the key that let me into bluebeard's study.

Submitted by https://dis-contented.tumblr.com/:
An etching and dot work style tattoo I got back in 2014, a mashup of the quotes below.
"To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream."
"I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am."
--Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter Twenty, 1963
