No Fear Of The Blankness
I may not be the one to fight,
But I can conjure, I can write,
Scribble things that weren't there
Before I snagged the words out of the air,
And herd them onto the sheet
Of paper, where marks and meaning meet...

Far Out (By Philip Larkin)
Beyond the bright cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on the air.
These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight.
For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.
