Sour Lemon Drops

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"

Emily Dickinson


Part One: Life
CXXXIII

You cannot put a fire out;  

A thing that can ignite

Can go, itself, without a fan  

Upon the slowest night.  

You cannot fold a flood  

And put it in a drawer,

—Because the winds would find it out, 

 And tell your cedar floor.
