The temperature had dropped this morning and there was a cool breeze. I had not slept much and the vestiges of the migraine from the other night lingered on.
The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here. --- Sylvia Plath
The tulips are too red in the first place, they hurt me.
Even through the gift paper, I could hear them breath. --- Sylvia Plath
Their redness talks to my wound, it corresponds.
They are subtle: they seem to float; though they weigh me down.
They are subtle: they seem to float; though they weigh me down.
Upsetting me with their sudden tongues and their color. --- Sylvia Plath
They concentrate my attention, that was happy
Playing and resting without committing itself. --- Sylvia Plath
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes
Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
The water I taste is warm and salt, like the sea.
And comes from a country far away as health. --- Sylvia Plath

Many thanks to Sylvia Plath's poem "Tulips" and for it being just the right work to strike my mind today

NO THANKS to this formatting system that would not work and I had to change things over and over. If I click on one, why does it revert to another? Why does it change colour and font size on its own? Ugh.
