some poems

Up at BigCityLit

Photos from the exhibition at the NY

Botanical Garden on Emily Dickinson's

garden. I read some of her poems there Saturday.

Poems on death, bees and roses, my favorite topics.

felice navidad

There's a certain Slant of light,

Winter Afternoons--

That oppresses, like the Heft

of Cathedral Tunes--

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us--

We can find no scar,

But internal difference,

Where the Meanings, are--

None may teach it--Any--

Tis the Seal Despair--

An imperial affliction

Sent us of the Air--

When it comes, the Landcape listens--

Shadows --hold their breath--

When it goes, 'tis like the Distance

on the Look of Death--

-- Emily Dickinson
