the moon is hiding in
her hair.
The
lily
of heaven
full of all dreams,
draws down.
cover her briefness in singing
close her with intricate faint birds
by daisies and twilights
Deepen her,
Recite
upon her
flesh
the rain's
pearls singly-whispering
- e.e. cummings

"can someone recommend an e.e.cummings volume or collection to get? bjork has set three of his (is it a he?) pieces to music - "sun in my mouth" on the vespertine album and two others as b-sides on the acapella "hidden place" single. i can't recall those titles at the moment, but if someone is interested i can go look them up.

oh gawd, i am SO regretting not buying that Hidden Place part 2 single now! *cries*
yes, i want names!
i have a lot of cummings, but his 100 Selected Poems is a good place to start. it contains somewhere i have never travelled, gladly, which is a favorite of many people on the board. i also love AnOther e.e. cummings, which is a collection of prose, avant garde poetry, miscellany, erotic poetry (some of his best work), biography and memoir. it's an absolutely kickass collection, and where i got the poem above from.

"mother heroic" and "foot soldier" are what they're listed as.
if that doesn't help, let me know and i'll have a listen and quote some words for you.
