your eyes are fine and kind older and kinder than the last time than the lost time your heart compressed holds family, old friends and lovers a smooth stone at the bottom of a river of regret—who can help it a sweet pain remains with one noble foot in the past memory hardened and polished by time gleaning compassion in the fields—in the yards in the zoos of mercy in the velvet halls of the aristocrat—the artist I applaud where you are having learned a thing or two about noblesse you save your old friends holding tight to the smallest thing the careless have let go there you will sit to the right of god ordering the angels about Mikael—Mikael Provincetown, 2021 Happy Birthday September 3, 2025
