To Emily Dickinson _
my etemal sister
The horror of the shattered mirror,
The thoughts about the death at night...
and with a clock that doesn ‘ t strike
Flies the time in shade of light...
I ’ ve flown over the bounds of fear,
I ’ ve rolled away the rocks of ice,
I know you ‘ II never come to me…
I ’ II wait for you beyond the skies.
And on the path of fractured glimmer
Thoughts of you give me no fright…
And with a clock that doesn ’ t strike
Flies the time in shade of light.
A very lovely poetic tribute to Emily Dickinson. I like the inference that time flies even when the clock is stopped. Very nice indeed.
