To Emily Dickinson: An epistle Your words comfort Across the divide of Time- space and race; You lived in isolation, I am Nobody! Who are you? Are you- Nobody- too? Then there is a pair of us! That is what you said in One of your famous poems That might shock today’s narcissists Poets and all others that revere Their self-image; Yet, living and dying un-loved, Your poetic soul was incredibly rich, And included the whole universe in it Like that other distinguished voice, Walt Whitman, your peer, And both of you Spoke about us, And still speak to us, Although the world hardly listens To its own great masters!
