Offering to Emily

we birds rhyme in woods wild dress because of Emily Dickinson loneliness


Cooper’s Poem

every carriage that could

quiet beauty some make who know in death love

like foxglove through moor still has sun held there

spirit away though sea forbidden chart-ing secret immortality

a bee come-ing to an enormous heart at Amherst

can but nectar on this futile Eden

taste-ing all her universe as mystal-ly known

comprehend this earth were pen by page give

the world more felt than feel

any life only poem for poet

who is sick from prose then liquor

brewed brain thing

write day shall night

white be dark

poetry leave the summer

here was a saint-ly funeral


Laura’s Poem

how is you-r year pale recluse?

the closet of my metaphysical bedroom

would publish my taste and lovely private fear

about labor or leisure

just shut up

I have kindly stopped

I’m not always alone I have his letter

our style use-ed silent wisdom

he see-es it clear
