-Parting- by Emily Dickinson
My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
--
This season in Helsinki. It is the most beautiful. It is the most painful. It is the most gathering. It is the most parting.
For Rod, my lovely Colombian.
