Emily Fucking Dickinson

(This is Emily Fucking Dickinson, time-traveling into my cortex on a Tuesday, eyeliner smudged, with zero fucks left to ration.)
She wore white—
for the purity of feels,
because language’s blood
is vivid on clean linen.
She closed her door
to temper her silence
into the sharpest blade,
before it bleeds the eyes
and ruptures the soul.
They called her mad.
She said it was
thinking—
“LOUD.”
She folded verses
Turned them into
charges of dynamite,
tucked them away
between some worn buttons
and the rolling thunder.
The men withheld her—
turned her to a whisper.
But she was a riot
yelling in slant rhyme,
and she owned everyone.
Nature was her side peace.
God—her pen pal.
Death wooed, but
She made him wait
at the garden gate —
then she reshaped
the cosmos.
They thought her lonely.
She was just
undisturbed.
Call her a ghost—
but do it right:
“Emily Fucking Dickinson.”
The bitch who stitched bees
into her vowels
and wrote eternity
on the back of an envelope.
