Revolution is the Pod


Revolution is the Pod
Systems rattle from
When the Winds of Will are stirred
Excellent is Bloom
But except its Russet Base
Every Summer be
The Entomber of itself,
So of Liberty —
Left inactive on the Stalk
All its Purple fled
Revolution shakes it for
Test if it be dead.
Emily Dickinson

Ending summer
The Source from which
Systems rattle - sounds changing
When the Winds of Will are stirred
Bloom is Excellent  
But except its Russet Stem
Every Summer be
The Entomber of itself,
So of Liberty —
Left inactive on the Stalk
All its Purple fled
Changing shakes it for
Test if it be dead.
Revolution means  just change or shift..
