Love Isn't All
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love isn't all: It isn't meat nor drink
Nor sleep nor a rooftop against the downpour,
Nor yet a drifting fight to men that sink
furthermore, rise and sink and rise and sink once more.
Love can't fill the thickened lung with breath
Nor clean the blood, nor set the cracked bone;
However numerous a man is befriending demise
indeed, even as I talk, for absence of affection alone.
It well might be that in a troublesome hour,
nailed somewhere around need and groaning for discharge
or on the other hand pestered by need past goal's power,
I may be headed to sell your affection for harmony,
Or on the other hand exchange the memory of this night for food.
It likely could be. I don't figure I would.
"It Was a Calm Way"
by Emily DickinsonIt was a tranquil way —
He inquired as to whether I was his —
I made no response of the Tongue
In any case, reply of the Eyes —
And afterward He bore me on
Prior to this human commotion
With quickness, as of Chariots
What's more, distance, as of Wheels.
This World dropped away
As Sections of land from the feet
Of one that leaneth from Inflatable
Upon an Ether road.
The Bay behind was not,
The Landmasses were new —
Endlessness it was previously
Endlessness was expected.
No Seasons were to us —
It was not Night nor Morn —
In any case, Dawn halted upon the spot
What's more, affixed it in Sunrise.

The Door
by Marie HoweI had no clue about that the door I would step through
to enter this world at long last
would be the space my sibling's body made. He was
somewhat taller than me: a young fellow
however, developed, himself by then,
done at 28, having collapsed each sheet,
flushed each glass he could at any point wash under the virus
furthermore, running water.
This is the very thing that you have been sitting tight for, he used to tell me.
Furthermore, I'd say, What?
Furthermore, he'd say, This — holding up my cheddar and mustard sandwich.
Furthermore, I'd say, What?
Furthermore, he'd say, This, kind of glancing around.
