King

Here’s a hand from the right side
holding a tangle of cotton.

Finger and thumb from the left side
(turning before the wind catches)
take up the end of a blue one
and master it into the sun.

The sky of sixty nine

look up at a screen,
and the black and white sparkle:
Armstrong strides the moon.
