Over and over the old, granular movie
Exposes embarrassments--the mizzling days
Of childhood and adolescence, sticky with dreams,
Parental faces on tall stalks, alternately stern and tearful,
A garden of buggy rose that made him cry.

His forehead is bumpy as a sack of rocks.

Memories jostle each other for face-room like obsolete film stars.

He is immune to pills: red, purple, blue --
How they lit the tedium of the protracted evening!

Insomniac by Sylvia Plath

何度も何度も古い粒状の映画が
恥ずかしさをさらす、もやもやとした日々
夢で溢れた幼年期と思春期
厳しさと涙が交互に表れる、背の高い両親の顔
父泣かせの薔薇の庭

彼の額は岩のようにでこぼこしている

思い出は、時代遅れの映画スターたちのように、互いに顔を寄せ合う

薬には免疫がある。赤、紫、青......
それらは長引く夜の退屈をどれほど照らしたことか！
