To understand Plath's "terrible fish"...

a girl can see a lot in a dark computer screen
other dark things aren't so illuminating
but my computer screen is darkness highlighting darkness

blue eyes stare squarely into the black shape
gray eyes swimming above deep dark circles
stare back

i never knew they were there
the dark circles under my eyes
nor did I realize they are so asymmetrical
