In this poetry-film, of a poem by Emily Dickinson, the poet ponders on her mortality. She has not told her garden of her immanent demise; she will not lightly share the news with anybody, anywhere, as if death is a unique occurence. The film was made using a pinscreen animation device. The soundtrack consists of harp improvisation inspired by the poem.
