Dickinson & Poe
Could not put a stopper in death
Like Snape promised Potter in a seductive snarl
Snap-back I find myself drenched in death
With the penalty of life
Dickinson held fast to the belief that Death had civility
Waiting and stopping for her
Poe felt death foaming at his fingertips
And crying like a raven rapping at his door
Cursed in eternal tombs that are tomes
I'm frozen in my devastated love Curtly cut off by disaster and pain
I create cut glass of spice in Hades
Not a juicy pomegranate for my lips
Only leftover spices that had no use
