The Dickinsonian oracle pronounces:
To my quick ears the Leaves - conferred -
The Bushes - they were Bells -
I could not find a Privacy
From Nature's sentinels -
In Cave if I presumed to hide
The Walls - begun to tell -
Creation seemed a mighty Crack -
To make me invisible.
(E. Dickinson, 912)
The writing commandment:
What makes you invisible? Use the answer to *this* question as a title to a poem, a poem that then incorporates the question you initially posed to the oracle. Write it. Recite it.
