ee

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world


and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
__the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph


And death i think is no parenthesis

ee cummings
