“Come slowly — Eden!” (205) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

Come slowly -- Eden!
 Lips unused to Thee --
 Bashful -- sip thy Jessamines --
 As the fainting Bee --
 
Reaching late his flower,
 Round her chamber hums --
 Counts his nectars --
 Enters -- and is lost in Balms.

a fish market,
 broken down for the day --
  yet, its scent still grows.

the scent of death
assaults my nostrils: 
carcass or fungi?
