Opens wide
For Earth’s first
Man of the moon
Today died
Neil Armstrong
First to open
The ring pull
And taste man’s
Most bleak frontier
Two steps apart from
Couch’d America
Yet to boast
O’ lunar fear
First freeman
Of Lagholm
Seat of Clan Armstrong
Spokesman for
US businesses only
Decliner of autographs
And one time Barber-litigator
A deist, believer
In the
Expanding void
Of reason
Born 5 August 1930
For heaven
Here we sleep
Bestride the junkyard stars
Made of Earth’s
Eternal creep
