daily dose of Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain

If Emily Dickinson had a bluesky account, she'd be shitposting everyday besides writing poems of course.

And leave me — just my A — B — C —
Himself — could have the Skies —

No more her patient figure
At twilight soft to meet —
No more her timid bonnet
Upon the village street —
But Crowns instead, and Courtiers —
And in the midst so fair,
Whose but her shy — immortal face
Of whom we're whispering here?
No more her patient figure
At twilight soft to meet —
No more her timid bonnet
Upon the village street —
But Crowns instead, and Courtiers —

She bore it till the simple veins
She bore it till the simple veins
Traced azure on her hand —
Til pleading, round her quiet eyes
The purple Crayons stand.
Till Daffodils had come and gone
I cannot tell the sum,
And then she ceased to bear it —
And with the Saints sat down.
She bore it till the simple veins

Traced azure on her hand —

I made my soul familiar — with her extremity —

But she, and Death, acquainted —
Meet tranquilly, as friends —
Salute, and pass, without a Hint —
