Mine

"Mine" is a short poem by Emily Dickinson in which a speaker declares possession with escalating, almost defiant force. Each line stakes a claim through images of royal seals, white elections and scarlet prison bars, as if love were a legal charter. The mood is feverish and triumphant, and the stakes are nothing less than whether devotion can survive the grave and the slow theft of the ages. In just two stanzas, the voice grows bolder and more intoxicated. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-poetry--6577576/support.
