His arms, and he hugged me, and then with a squeak,

He planted a chaste little kiss on each cheek.

He was stocky and strong and his whiskers were tan.

Now please keep it dark. I've been kissed by a man."


Out of It All

Out of it all shall come splendor and gladness;

Out of the madness and out of the sadness,

Clearer and finer the world shall arise.

Why then keep sorrow and doubt in your eyes?
