Death is a dialogue between
Death is a dialogue between the spirit and the dust in this compact Emily Dickinson poem, staged as a quiet argument.

Death doubts and presses its case from the ground, while the spirit turns away and sheds only an overcoat of clay. In just two stanzas, mortality becomes a conversation with sharp, startling images.
