If you know what I want you to know when I want you to know

Emily D. used to say
The Soul has Bandaged moments –
When too appalled to stir –
She feels some ghastly Fright come up
And stop to look at her –

Salute her — with long fingers –
Caress her freezing hair –
Sip, Goblin, from the very lips
The Lover — hovered — o’er –
Unworthy, that a thought so mean
Accost a Theme — so — fair –

Good day, the Friday way!
