> hi cloudy: I'm slowly reading the writing board and I just wanted to say that I really like this poem. Sounds like you're courting Fear. Reminds me of Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for death..." in a way.

I love Emily Dickinson.
Here is my favorite - I read it in a book about women with ADD.
"The lost thought"

I felt a Cleaving in my Mind
As if my Brain had split--
I tried to match it--Seam by Seam--
But could not make them fit.
The thought behind, I strove to join
Unto the thought before--
But Sequence ravelled out of Sound
Like Balls--upon a Floor
