A Dimple in the Tomb
"A Dimple in the Tomb" is a poem by Emily Dickinson that fits an entire meditation on death into just nine words. A single small, tender mark, a dimple, enters a cold and ferocious space and changes what it means. The poem sets the harshness of the grave against the warmth of belonging, leaving readers to wonder who that dimple belonged to and how such a small detail can turn fear into something close to comfort.
