Emily Poisel

“since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis”
― E.E. Cummings

“life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis”

“down with hell and heaven and all the religious fuss
infinity pleased our parents
one inch looks good to us”
― E. E. Cummings

“A wounded dear leaps the highest”
― Emily Dickinson
