Genius

 So my brother got married yesterday. Today I talked to my family and it made my heart hurt. So to make it even worse/better I got you all this genius poem that I cannot stop rereading.


Since feeling is first by E.E. Cummings


since feeling is first
who pays any 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 kisses are a 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
