you know what’s interesting

though incredibly and hauntingly sad?

that of all the poets who’ve lived

and died

with this pleasure robbing curse

I, at fifty-nine

know more years than most attain

brilliant blazing lovely light cut short

by this curse or other curse

dear God in Heaven, thank You!

thank You that though damaged

I still live!

may my life be to Your glory!
