Leonard Cohen
Sylvia Plath, from a letter to Aurelia Plath written c. August 1951

The path that I don’t understand
is the path held onto like crutches, you use when you wander through your world
adjust yourself successfully and call your new friends
Maybe it’s all an ego acid trip for me that I dreamt up, an ice cold witch brew breathed into
I always imagine up everything beloved
whatever trace you want to leave behind is made up from the little things you do
spent time walking
watching
memories drive by
What runs once used to be slow
the bad things used to feel good
i sit in wonder
dysfunction ; You can drive and talk some more,
But you talk about the things that dont work anymore you know everything you’re well-assured but you dream of things in their final course And nobody’s going to let you know
-s’s
I would especially like to apologize
to you, for I
was skipping rocks
over the pool
of which you cried
-s's.
I never really thought I'd wake to these mornings
be my lifeline, as I begin to draw it
whatever song feels good to me,
a psychopathic symphony
and whatever I see, I'll believe,
my photographic memory
-s's.
something crawls out of landfill
something light and surprising
as I recall secret antics
I do to keep on watching
-s’s.
