Sylvia Plath's Double

SYLVIA PLATH’S DOUBLE

Up here in the flat—

Writing in the Yeats kitchen

Ariel is born

It is a “sea-change”—

That’s why Sylvia moves there

To be a poet

That’s where the Muse comes—

To live with Sylvia Plath

It is her Double

Ditching Big Daddy—

Becoming her own Other

She writes for herself
