Heavenly hurt

 From CQC

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us -
We can find no scar,
But internal difference -
Where the Meanings, are -
~Emily Dickenson


Whole poem:

There's a certain Slant of light
There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons - 
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes -

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us -
We can find no scar,
But internal difference -
Where the Meanings, are -

None may teach it - Any -
'Tis the seal Despair -
An Imperial affliction -
Sent us of the Air -

When it comes, the Landscape listens -
Shadows - hold their breath -
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death -
