SYLVIA PLATH

Há dias vi ao acaso dos filmes da TV Sylvia (2003) de Christine Jeffs, com Gwyneth Paltrow e Daniel Craig. Fui depois procurar poesia da Sylvia Plath. Fica aqui esta.

Southern Sunrise

Color of lemon, mango, peach,
These storybook villas
Still dream behind
Shutters, their balconies
Fine as hand-made lace,
or a leaf-and-flower pen-sketch.
Tilting with the winds,
On arrowy stems,
Pineapple-barked,
A green crescent of palms
Sends up its forked
Firework of fronds.
A quartz-clear dawn
Inch by bright inch
Gilds all our Avenue,
And out of the blue drench
Of Angels' Bay
Rises the round red watermelon sun.
