The head in the dark below

A shade more the color of snow.”

Between stars—on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.”

turn now my spirit, swift,
and tear the pattern there,
the flowers so deftly wrought,
the border of sea-blue,
the sea-blue coast of home.”
