Sans the title, I think this is a much better choice than "Mirror." It's got some truly powerful wording. Ka-POW!! It's impressive. If only it wasn't about Lucifer. Sonnet to Satan - Sylvia Plath In darkroom of your eye the moonly mind somersaults to counterfeit eclipse; bright angels black out over logic's land under shutter of their handicaps. Commanding that corkscrew comet jet forth ink to pitch the white world down in swiveling flood, you overcast all order's noonday rank and turn god's radiant photograph to shade. Steepling snake in that contrary light invades the dilate lens of genesis to print your flaming image in birthspot with characters no cockcrow can deface. O maker of proud planet's negative, obscure the scalding sun till no clocks move. |

| Janus January 14, 2004 08:59 PM PST What do you think it means? It's called "Sonnet to Satan." All that you'd have to mention are the references to photography (photograph, lens, image, negative) and the Jesus mention ("characters no cockcrow can deface"). Trixi would have loved it. Guaranteed. | ||
