My Permanent Eyebags And Perpetual Air Of Confusion Make Me Irresistible To Women

literally destroy superabundance. starve the flesh, shave the hair, expose the bone, clarify the mind, define the will, restrain the senses, leave the family, flee the church, kill the vermin, vomit the heart, forget the dead. limit time, forgo amusement, deny nature, reject acquaintances, discard objects, forget truths, dissect myths, stop motion, block impulse, choke sobs, swallow chatter. scorn joy, scorn touch, scorn tragedy, scorn liberty, scorn constancy, scorn hope, scorn exaltation, scorn reproduction, scorn variety, scorn embellishment, scorn release, scorn rest, scorn sweetness, scorn light. it’s a question of form as much as function. it is a matter of revulsion.

“I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me; All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.”

— Sylvia Plath, from ‘Elm’, Collected Poems
