Emily Dickinson Remake

Crumbling is not an instant’s Act (1010)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
CRUMBLING IS NOT AN INTANT’S ANGST(follow up to April 21)

Crumbling is not an instant’s angst
dilapidation’s processes are organized decays
A fundamental pause on the Soul
First cob web
Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust

Ruin is formal devil’s work
No match for rags or mops
Its stain grows dark
consecutive
slow

Crashe’s law

To fail in an instant
no man did slipping

Witness this much
Unraveling
Unnerving follows
In Slow waves
Gradual awakening
to what cannot be
remade
