Seance

Court Green Séance

“To re-establish its mirror”

—Sylvia Plath, “Words”

Late at night—

There in Court Green

In my study—

Looking out the window

I can see—

Deep into the murk

The surly depths—

Of an ancient cemetery

It takes a bitch—

To be a Bitch Goddess

It takes a goddess—

To see into the night

And it’s all done—

Simply with words
