Mary's Song

（单词翻译:单击）

Sylvia Plath

The Sunday lamb cracks in its fat.

The fat

Sacrifices its opacity1. . . .

A window， holy gold.

The fire makes it precious，

The same fire

Melting the tallow heretics，

Ousting2 the Jews.

Their thick palls3 float

Over the cicatrix of Poland， burnt-out

Germany.

They do not die.

Grey birds obsess4 my heart，

Mouth-ash， ash of eye.

They settle. On the high

Precipice5

That emptied one man into space

The ovens glowed like heavens， incandescent6.

It is a heart，

This holocaust7 I walk in，

O golden child the world will kill and eat.
