Marta Moldovan-Cywińska: Sylwia, Marta, Maria

Clothes hanger and plaster

The hags were haunted quietly

poetry by Plath and Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska

in a handkerchief pierced with a clothes hanger rusted in hate

glass lampshade and verses made of strings of pearls

they suffer in the dumpster

Lady Lazarus collects scratch cards and receipts

Chinese dog La précieuse went to the shelter

that's all poetry - in plaster

and the poets - in the emergency room

Marta Moldovan-Cywińska
