I Love You As Much As Emily

I love you as much as Emily Dickinson, 

May Swenson.

You frequently bring me to tears.

May I say May, you ring my bell,

are yourself a Bell, a Belle and a Bell.

Would I had been your clapper.

Indeed, if you were alive today,

I’d offer my dong—

you could have my children—

(as you yourself half-offered yourself

to someone admired, despite being gay).

I am not gay, but May, Oh! May!

I love you as much as Emily.
