3. Sylvia Plath Pink

A workman walks by carrying a pink torso.
It is pink, with speckles.

Tomorrow the patient will have a clean, pink plastic limb.
Pink and smooth as a baby.

A funny pink world he might eat
Flickers among the flat pink roses.

The gilt and pink domes of Russia melt and float off
But he is pink and perfect.
