about

Poem by Emily Dickinson, from a library book Jen borrowed when she was sixteen, and never returned. She wonders what the fine might be...

Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Three: Love
Poem # LI

lyrics

My friend must be a bird,
Because it flies!
Mortal my friend must be,
Because it dies!
Barbs has it, like a bee.
Ah, curious friend,
Thou puzzlest me!
