Poem - "in spite of everything" by E. E. Cummings

"in spite of everything" 
by E. E. Cummings


in spite of everything


which breathes and moves,since Doom

(with white longest hands

neatening each crease)

will smooth entirely our minds

-before leaving my room

i turn,and(stooping

through the morning)kiss

this pillow,dear

where our heads lived and were.
