Our Emily Dickinson
Poems written after Emily Dickinson
A word is dead
When it is said
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
—Emily Dickinson (1212)

Do Not Honor Me by Cyrus Vastola
Fly little bee—
back to your hive
Do not honor me—
this I don’t deserve
For though you give me honey
And spread the flowers we adore
In my haste I will honor you
With only a slap—
forgive me
And my humanity for not thinking more.
