I could suffice for Him, I knew —

I could suffice for Him, I knew —
He — could suffice for Me —
Yet Hesitating Fractions — Both
Surveyed Infinity —

“Would I be Whole” He suddenbroached—
My syllable rebelled —
‘Twas face to face with Nature — forced —
'Twas face to face with God —

Withdrew the Sun — to Other Wests —
Withdrew the furthest Star
Before Decision — stooped to speech —
And then — be audibler

The Answer of the Sea unto
The Motion of the Moon —
Herself adjust Her Tides — unto —
Could I — do else — with Mine?

Emily Dickinson

Emily and her unfinished poem

I could suffice for Him, I knew —
He could suffice for Me —
Yet Hesitating Splits —
Both inspected Infinity —

“Would I be finished” He sudden uttered—
I answered rebelliously —
‘Twas face to face with Nature — then —
'Twas face to face with God —

The Sun withdrew to Other Wests —
The furthest Star withdrew
And stooped to speech Before Decision—–
Then the Answer of the Sea

To the Motion of the Moon
Be more audible——
She adjust to Her Tides —
Could I do else with me?

Emily endeavored to write a perfect poet all through the night, but her unfinished pet was sleepy.
