Lady Lazarus BY SYLVIA PLATH I have done it again. One year in every ten I manage it—— A sort of walking miracle, my skin Bright as a Nazi lampshade, My right foot A paperweight, My face a featureless, fine Jew linen. Peel off the napkin O my enemy. Do I terrify?—— The nose, theContinue reading “Lady Lazarus”

My Best
I’m showing up I’m showing up even though I don’t want to I’m showing up to get something out of it Even if it’s a seed of hope I’m showing up because of love Because of purpose To have something to believe in I don’t want to show up But here I am trying myContinue reading “My Best”
