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 once offered yourself

to someone admired, despite being gay).

I am not gay, but May, Oh May!

I love you as much as Emily.
