Sheep In Fog by Sylvia Plath
The hills step off into whiteness. People or stars Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.
The train leaves a line of breath. O slow Horse the colour of rust,
Hooves, dolorous bells ---- All morning the Morning has been blackening,
A flower left out. My bones hold a stillness, the far Fields melt my heart.
They threaten To let me through to a heaven Starless and fatherless, a dark water.
