The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
The event was directly behind Him
1686

The event was directly behind Him
Yet He did not guess
Fitted itself to Himself like a Robe
Relished His ignorance.
Motioned itself to drill
Loaded and Levelled
And let His Flesh
Centuries from His soul.
