since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all
flowers. Don’t cry
—the best gesture of my
brain is less thanyour eyelids’ flutter which says
we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my
arms for life’s not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis
--e.e. cummings
