" Citizens of a Great Country

We are made of them, finally, as we try to sleep, to reach
The place that night with all its stars has shown us,
All its stars as all of us, and all our cities, and all our countries,
All our histories and all our families, every one.
The country of us is large.
We ourselves are its border
Wherever we are, whoever we are, safe as we try and want to be. "
