Emily Said

the sun is bright but doesn't warm my heart today Emily said that "thing with feathers" * perched in my soul would never stop singing it does and I just want to crawl back in bed be unconcious or binge something sick and sappy that wets my eyes all day nah-- -- I'm gonna get in my boots hike straight up that evil mountain and flip a double barreled salute at every-- "thing" above and below --on my way down argue with God whose sun is it anyway *From "... is the thing with feathers" BY EMILY DICKINSON
