National Poetry Month

[brigdh]

since feeling is first by e.e. cummings

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 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 each other: then

laugh, leaning back in my arms

for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis
