Poems by Emily Dickinson

Life

VIII.

A wounded deer leaps highest,
I've heard the hunter tell;
'T is but the ecstasy of death,
And then the brake is still.


The smitten rock that gushes,
The trampled steel that springs;
A cheek is always redder
Just where the hectic stings!

Mirth is the mail of anguish,
In which it cautions arm,
Lest anybody spy the blood
And "You're hurt" exclaim!

Mirth is the mail of anguish. . .

"Humor is the buffer for my pain," an expression I have used for over 40 years katyzzz, Emily Dickinson speaks to my soul...

That explains the Coffee quip, then. Laughter is such good medicine, but this poet certainly expresses things concisely and uniquely, it is engaging.
