"Child to Moon, Come In" is a many times revised poem that attempts to convey the near-magical effect that nightly "visits" to the moon had on a child who was deeply troubled:
. . .You. listen, I mouthed in awe. I know you
know, but. . .you listen. Never interrupt,
never laugh at my stammer. All I have
to do is close my eyes and speak my piece.
When I'm done -- you always wait-- you
beam, I Hear You! Your secrets are safe! . . .
Night Whispers will most likely be out in time for Christmas.
