Here finally is "Bluebeard" as I should have called it before, and it is short but truly amazing.

Bluebeard
by Sylvia Plath



I am sending back the key
that let me into bluebeard's study;
because he would make love to me
I am sending back the key;
in his eye's darkroom I can see
my X-rayed heart, dissected body :
I am sending back the key
that let me into bluebeard's study.








Sylvia Plath killed herself by sticking her head in an oven and breathing the fumes until she was dead.
