Ecco a Letter Starting - meaning Summary
Invitation to Self-erasure
Cummings presents a playful, intimate mock-letter in which the speaker invites self-erasure into an addressed plural "we," offering to become "noone except yourselves." The poem mixes whimsical, fragmented imagery—an illiterate moon, a ghostly scribble, a misnamed chauvesouris—and dismisses grammatical correctness in favor of bodily, romantic surrender. It ends with a promise of shared place and time, a private forever marked by "silver shoes."
