Status Updates From The Colossus by Plath, Sylv...

I’m reading this so slowly because it is so so good

Moves humbly as any housewife through
Her ruined apartments, taking stock
Of charred shoes, the sodded upholstery:
Cheated of the pyre and the rack,
The crowd sucks her last tear and turns away.”
