Crumbling is not an instant’s Act
Emily Dickinson
997 Crumbling is not an instant’s Act A fundamental pause Dilapidation’s processes Are organized Decays. ’Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul A Cuticle of Dust A Borer in the Axis An Elemental Rust— Ruin is formal—Devil’s work Consecutive and slow— Fail in an instant, no man did Slipping—is Crash’s law.
