Jessamines in hyphens

Because she could not stop for death he stopped for her briefly in carriage, her bundles of poems stacked up in it. They were immortality,her jessamines nightly blooming and their fragrance would be a memory mixed with death in Eden grown with hyphenated moss.

Her hyphens are a stopping for death holding up breath to smell jessamines when he would stop for us in carriage with bundles of poems stocked up in it.

(remembering Emily Dickinson’s heavily hyphenated poems)
