Qasmonauts skin––skein––senses At night, or darkly through glass: lunar Qatar––moon-struck--touched by the moon, Nation of qasmonauts, furling and unfurling, inland seas Qasmo-nautical (space ships!), flights of falcons––fonts of fancy. Skin of sky, skein of sand, skin of skein, space On my tongue… sand-grit in the lines of my hands. Writing gets in your eyes. Patrick West
