There's been a Death, in the Opposite House,
As lately as Today-
I know it, by the numb look
Such Houses have - alway-
The neighbours rustle in and out-
The Doctor - drives away-
A window opens like a Pod -
Abrupt - mechanically -
Somebody flings a Mattress out -
The Children hurry by -
They wonder if it died - on that -
I used to - when a Boy -
-Emily Dickinson-
