Ariel Songtext
von Sylvia Plath

Ariel
Stasis in darkness: then the substanceless
Blue pour of tor and distances
God′s lioness, how one we grow
Pivot of heels and knees, the furrow
Splits and passes, sister to the brown
Arc of the neck I cannot catch
Nigger eye berries casting dark hooks
Black sweet bloodmouthfuls, shadows Something else hauls me through air
Thighs, hair, flakes from my heels
White Godiva eye on peel
Dead hands, dead stringencies
And now I foam to wheat, a glitter of seas
The child's cry melts in the wall
And I am the arrow, the dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red eye, the cauldron of morning
