Daddy's Daughter (After Sylvia Plath's Daddy) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Daddy's Daughter.

To delve into her psyche is to delve into the personal space, the psyche of a woman which is always shaky and unstable.

To know her identity is know that she is a German, that she is an American, that she is an English woman, which is what, we cannot.

The nervous psyche, how to analyze it? How to make an anatomy of the sentimental being?

How to lay it bare the sentimental heart, the nervous psyche, the split personality, neurotic self? She is dovetailing images, stitching and re-stitching to make the image of her father. She feels it love as for being her father and hate as for losing him.

Suppose you he was a Hitler and she a Jew, a wandering gypsy fearing the clutches of, fleeing from in search of life. Why did he subject to atrocity and tyranny in the name of race and ethnicity?

How to say about the gypsy heart and pagal manna, mad inner mind? A neurotic mind, how to read the impressions and sensations of it? In reality, everything comes it out of that level.

She drags it along the effigy to talk to, caress and complain against as a child does with the doll or a neurotic girl.

From where to where? Where was his land, where did his ancestors and where did he come to?
