Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

To hang our head ostensibly,
  And subsequent to find
That such was not the posture
  Of our immortal mind,

Affords the sly presumption
  That, in so dense a fuzz,
You, too, take cobweb attitudes
  Upon a plane of gauze!

1. Alpine Glow
2. The Bone That Has No Marrow
3. The Brain
4. Lost Joy
5. Lost Faith
