Aftermath

IMAG0061


'Compelled by calamity's magnet
They loiter and stare as if the house
Burnt-out were theirs, or as if they thought
Some scandal might at any minute ooze
From a smoke choked closet into light;
No deaths, no prodigious injuries
Glut these hunters after an old meat,
Blood-spoor of the austere trajedies.

Mother Medea in a green smock
Moves humbly as any housewife through
Her ruined apartments taking stock
Of charred shoes, the sodden upholstery:
Cheated of the pyre and the rack,
The crowd sucks her last tear and turns away.'

Sylvia Plath, Aftermath
