And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...
And while with silent lifting mind Ive trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.”

I am afraid and seldom put my hand up
to my mouth and stitch it up
covering you, smothering you
from the public voyeury eyes
of my typewriter keys.”
