In these waning years
The wine has never tasted so good,
The rye never so rich as the warmth of the hands
That formed and baked it!

Ah, I am in a swoon of devotion
To the small things human that loom so large---
My love for the brothers and sisters
Who toil and die in the motion
Of the earth ‘round the relentless sun.

To thee I lift my little cup!

It's so good to see you writing again,
Art. You have been missed!

May I sit in the sun beside you?

Thank you, Ida, my dear friend, and thank you Prasad, my new acquaintance; it is good to connect with the poets of this world who know how to draw the lines between the numbers.

Highest regards,

Nice going and better than nice showing. I can relate to the wine being more mellow and the bread being more yeasty. I lift my cup to you.
