Inaugural Address (1989)
“It will be a great relief when a window opens.”

Collected Poems (1992)
Context: It will be a great relief when a window opens.

or at least I cannot find them. And perhaps
it is better that I don’t find them.
Perhaps the light will prove another tyranny.
Who knows what new things it will expose?
