" i have done it again.
one year in every ten
i manage it-----
...
and i a smiling woman.
i am only thirty.
and like the cat i have nine times to die.
...
these are my hands
my knees.
i may be skin and bone,
...
dying
is an art, like everything else.
i do exceptionally well.
...
herr god, herr lucifer
beware
beware. "

( lady lazarus - sylvia plath, out. 1962 ).
