Cut
(an excerpt)
Sylvia Plath
copyright © 1962 Harper Collins
What a thrill ----
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of a hinge
Of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush . . .
A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.
