Still own thee - still thou art
What Surgeons call alive -
Though slipping - slipping - I perceive
To thy reportless Grave -
Which question shall I clutch -
What answer wrest from thee
Before thou dost exude away
In the recallless sea?
What Surgeons call alive -
Though slipping - slipping - I perceive
To thy reportless Grave -
Which question shall I clutch -
What answer wrest from thee
Before thou dost exude away
In the recallless sea?
Emily Dickinson
On a cricket’s deathbed
What Surgeons call alive
Still own you – I perceive–
You are falling though falling
To your unnoticed Grave -
Which question shall I ask
What answer (shall I) take from you -
Before you flow away
In the irreversible sea?
Still own you – I perceive–
You are falling though falling
To your unnoticed Grave -
Which question shall I ask
What answer (shall I) take from you -
Before you flow away
In the irreversible sea?
