let life rise in his young breast,

and strange ecstasy,
strait, searing body and limbs.”

Such exacting breath,
That they touch or sigh.
Every touch they give,
Love is nearer death.”

“I put the gold star up in the front window
beside the flag. Alterations is what I know
and what I did: hems, gussets and seams.”
