E. E. Cummings has a very unique style of writing, playing with spacing and combining words together. One of my favourites is Amores (II), seen here.
these cards before me
offer questions
and answers
(though to what questions they answer
is unknown)
they offer futures
of hope
of hopelessness
of loveorloss
but only one can tell
their secrets to you
they state that things
are not what they seem
Death does not mean death;
rather a change
the Devil is not to be feared,
it rather tells us
confront what you’ve been neglecting
what does this mean?
only the cards before me
know
