I appear on balconies and out of domes

and my veil encumbers nobody

for my home is space

and the ceiling of my dwelling is

God’s heaven or portions of clouds

So, you may, when you please,

enter with greetings into my doorless house,

for I found no swing door to hold

between heaven and earth
