Analysis of By starlight signs
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
When i look at you,
and… as you look at me
i feel you at greater depth
than anyone else can see
to say,
i know you better,
Than people who came
to know of you, before me
just that, what
We happen to share
is so wonderful
and unique
