Cloud-
hidden little
katy-
did of a kid—your secret
kind
of courage
flies just
so
much higher!
and seems quite a bit
older—
than any
idea
you could possibly
have where you're at;
as if it somehow
prefigures you—
the way that
all of the prettiest
men
throughout history
painting
all of the
most exquisite
stars in existence—could only
have presupposed
a sky like theirs
becoming yours.
