"How did I know that someday- at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere- the bell jar with its stifling distortions, wouldn't descend again?" -Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Balancing on the edge-
wonder, you had long ago.
Flowers bloom watered by your wisdom,
basking in the sunshine of your words.

Sad, sad, soul,
your starless sky
hid the meadow
on your finger tips.
