Amore

VIII

by E.E. Cummings

your little voice

Over the wires came leaping

and i felt suddenly

dizzy

5  

With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers

wee skipping high-heeled flames

courtesied before my eyes

or twinkling over to my side

Looked up

10  

with impertinently exquisite faces

floating hands were laid upon me

I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing

up

Up

15  

with the pale important

stars and the Humorous

moon

dear girl

How i was crazy how i cried when i heard

20  

over time

and tide and death

leaping

Sweetly

your voice
