Sunday Short: 'I Will Wade Out' by E. E. Cummings


i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
I go on and off poetry, depending, but I'm in a bit of an on period with it at the moment. One of the poems that jerked me back in though was this beautiful one by E.E. Cummings. It's a gorgeous, emotive thing and just, man, the imagery of eating the sun and moon is a wonderful one.
