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 Crashe’s law —

 

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
