After Emily Dickinson: I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -
I heard a Buzzing – when I Died -
I heard a Buzzing - when I Died -
The Stillness at your End
And Scowl appearing on my Skype
Meant - my Lies - must end.
Your Blue eyes blinking on the Screen
Were desert dry - I Mean -
If Looks could - Kill - I’d surely die
Because you thought me mean.
I made Excuses, pled I’d meant
I Love no one but - you -
And added, Your Twin sister said
It - wouldn’t - bother You!
Then Reflected on my screen -
Your Twin’s face covered Yours -
She sweetly - Smiled - and raised a Buzzing
Saw - Electric - yours?!
