What I Learned From Emily Dickinson

By Tony Brown

First, notice
Words. See their Eyes — 
see that Words have Eyes — 
keep them Open — 

See through them, see
what Words alone see.
Link them — make of them
a Puzzle Box?  Inside

Clarity, Brevity —
Enough. Then,
cut down even more till you
Startle with — What’s Left.
