You Left Me
(Emily Dickinson)
You left me, sweet, two legacies, -
A legacy of love
A Heavenly Father would content,
Had He the offer of;
You left me boundaries of pain
Capacious as the sea,
Between eternity and time,
Your consciousness and me.
What If I Say
( Emily Dickinson)
What if I say I shall not wait!
What if I burst the fleshly Gate-
And pass, escaped- to thee!
What if I file this Mortal- off-
See where it hurt me- That's enough-
And wade in Liberty!
They cannot take me- any more!
Dungeons can call- and Guns implore;
Unmeaning- now- to me-
As laughter- was- an hour ago-
Or Laces- or a Traveling Show-
Or Who died- yesterday!
