This is really cool. I’m glad people really liked that poem! Sometimes I doubt the serious power of poetry as I witness the world continue being the world. But it does bring me some joy to know it retains some level of reverence for the few people out there it manages to reach out to touch, whether by luck, or fate. – tc
