SINCE FEELING IS FIRST

since feeling is first
who pays attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kiss are a far better fate
than
wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
-- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other:
then laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

----- E.E. Cummings
