Poems
THEME/S
(Response to the news that what had once been thought impossible was achieved by science)
The other side of the moon,
Ambrosia ultimate
For dream's tongue, is now brought
On a photographic plate.
The savour of that silence—
The impossible—we speak forth.
But through this cosmic capture
More strange grows intimate earth:
Behind rapt eyes that scan
The back of the Man in the Moon,
Stirs deeper some almighty dark,
A self that is more than man.
