Fan fiction 5: Emily Dickinson

I heard a fly buzz when it died.

Search me how it happens, I’ve tried:

It’s tired, it’s soft, it’s Friday.

Science just wasn’t my forte.

Similarly, my devotions

Equate the wind with the oceans.

No proof, just a solemn feeling

When it roars above the ceiling.

Once I looked deep into his eyes.

Their rare colour was a disguise.

Small are questions. Why him? What for?

My theme is big, etched on scrimshaw.

Thus I stay in my wooden room

Leaving outside to share and zoom.
