TEQ #248
Luke 21:23
ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται
Bird
Now things are round.
How are people?
There came a soldier for me this evening:
"I must have some quietness when I move in..."
Do I find real core?
Marguerite Skrift,
a common breast for all of us.
Hanseel & Logio
See also my study of the parallelism of Emily Dickinson's total work with my 'The Endmorgan Quartet' - indeed this seems to apply well to the present example TEQ #248: I look up Johnson's enumeration and find that Dickinson's #248 is "Why - do they shut Me out of Heaven?".
Why — do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing — too loud?
But — I can say a little “Minor”
Timid as a Bird!
Wouldn’t the Angels try me —
Just — once — more —
Just — see — if I troubled them —
But don’t — shut the door!
Oh, if I — were the Gentleman
In the “White Robe” —
And they — were the little Hand — that knocked —
Could — I — forbid?
(I don't know why somebody has disrupted the links to Dickinson on wikisource - that was done after I published my article).

Unknown artist: The pattern on the parked car looked as if an advertisement had been torn off and left the surface underneath partly eroded -
