Wrapping of a winding cloth
Trap the heart and mind

Outside— no face
But forewarned feelings


Jostling— Brushing— Oh! the floor
Of sinking lower

But beneath the heat dissolves

Pieces into halves


Hope! the design of which
Rots under grass

New eyes, new hands— en masse
Winding, winding, skips a stitch

Inspired by the form of Emily Dickinson
