I Went To A Bookstore

i went to a bookstore

in search of the works of sylvia plath

through the shelves i sought her words

but i was met with nothing.

***

to her work

she dedicated her life

as well as her suffering

yet she is not given the basic respect

of being remembered

nothing could anger me more than that.
