S-Y-L-V-I-A

S-ifting through her mounds of dissonant dicourse,

Y-our head constantly shakes in disbelief.

L-oved & loathed by her peers, a life of recognition, the endless

V-ictory laps followed awards, honors & prizes. Fama gloriaque,

I-nterrupted by counter-irritants, insults or injuries, including the

A-gony of "annoying & debilitating domesticity."

P-arenthood; punishing treatments of capsules, pills & potions.

L-ine upon line of shocking 'electro-cures,' stubborn high's & hell-lows!

A-bandoned by his Hughes ego: her abusive & handsome bastard.

T-errifying winter spent in "a crazy-cold cottage, with hungry babes & filthy, sick kittens."

H-ead first, she plunged into dawn's darkness, still fueled & fuming, but with no fire left within.
