Only when
as a Shade I touch you,
will you believe my
Mouth,
that climbs with Late-
Minded things up there
around the
Time-Courts,
you come to the Host
of the Twice-Using among
the Angels,
Silence-Enraged
Stars.
Only when
as a Shade I touch you,
will you believe my
Mouth,
that climbs with Late-
Minded things up there
around the
Time-Courts,
you come to the Host
of the Twice-Using among
the Angels,
Silence-Enraged
Stars.
