The Letting go

你,
正如一隻羽化中的蟬,
在晾乾翅膀前卻已被一群螞蟻分解吞噬。

Renunciation—is a piercing Virtue
by Emily Dickinson

745

Renunciation—is a piercing Virtue—
The letting go
A Presence—for an Expectation—
Not now—
The putting out of Eyes—
Just Sunrise—
Lest Day—
Day’s Great Progenitor—
Outvie
Renunciation—is the Choosing
Against itself—
Itself to justify
Unto itself—
When larger function—
Make that appear—
Smaller—that Covered Vision—Here—
