E.E. Cummings






your slightest look easily will

unclose me

though I have closed myself as

fingers,

you open always petal by petal

myself as Spring opens

(touching skillfully, mysteriously)

her first rose

(i do not know what it is about you

that closes and opens;

only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than

all roses)... nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

Somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond

does anyone else think this is a poem about deflowering une jeune fille? non?

well a woody allen character quoted it ...he was in love with his wife's younger sister ...so that may be correct...
