While St. Bonk might look like a chicken or a whizzed out duck, he appears in a manner that reflects the supplicant’s bad relationship: how the person was described or presented is not so far afoot as how St. Bonkus will manifest to the one seeking his wisdom and advice as to how to bounce back from the poor engagement.
Contusion
Color floods to the spot, dull purple.
The rest of the body is all washed-out,
The color of pearl.
In a pit of a rock
The sea sucks obsessively,
One hollow thw whole sea’s pivot.
The size of a fly,
The doom mark
Crawls down the wall.
The heart shuts,
The sea slides back,
The mirrors are sheeted.
–Sylvia Plath
