since feeling is first……e.e. cummings
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
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 far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers.
Don't cry--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis
when i first read e.e. cummings i felt i had found a kindred spirit...
it wasn't his words so much, but his preference for the lower case letter
and his indiscriminate use of punctuation
... his words soon followed into my heart
