Mysterious Currency

I studied Emily Dickinson a while ago and I just came across Sappho for the first time. I usually write fiction, but I decided to take a stab at combining their styles. The subject of the poem could be Dickinson, Sappho, or the object of the speaker's love. I sort of intended all three.


sacred—terrific—she moves
with lines and across—
alighting and departing
gentle ripples
weight of seven hearts and seven minds—
wind fumbles
but she is grace and terror
