Sylvia Plath's Double

PARLOR POETRY

Here in Kansas—
Writing in the Yeats parlor
Ariel gets born

It’s like a “sea-change”—
That’s why Sylvia's Double 
Makes a poet

It's when the Muse comes—
To live with me the same way
Then it's my Double

Ditching Big Daddy—
Becoming my own Other
I write for myself
