Emily Dickinson
A Visitor in Marl

A Visitor in Marl
Who influences Flowers
Till they are orderly as Busts
And Elegant — as Glass

Who visits in the Night
And just before the Sun
Concludes his glistening interview
Caresses — and is gone

But whom his fingers touched
And where his feet have run
And whatsoever Mouth be kissed
Is as it had not been
