How Emily Dickinson might approach Literature

A Book – a very House – for the Mind – Where Spectres – entertain – or live – A Universe – compacted – small – That Worlds – un-fold – and give –

We build a dwelling – for the Soul – Of Paper – stitched with Thread – And furnish it – with Voices – past – Or futures – left un-said –

The Poet – is a Carpenter – of Thought – He shapes the Plank – with Care – And sets a Window – for the Eye – To gaze – upon the Air –

A Novel – is a Street – that winds – Through Towns – we’ve never known – We walk its Dust – with other Feet – And feel – a Seed is sown –

The Essay – is a Pebble – tossed – Into a silent Lake – The Ripples – travel – out – and out – For Understanding’s – Sake –

But whether Verse – or Tale – or Speech – The Essence – is the same – To crack the Shell – of Common Sight – And speak – the hidden Name –

The Brain – is wider than the Sky – And Literature – its Dome – A curious Architect – it seems – To make the Wild – our Home –
