I mention you in a question

posed by a journalistic poet,

a man with his own band

and space in a city filled

with endeavour and I believe

that you made me the person

I am today,

a little wary

a bit private

but open one hopes

to the grill and pleasant e-mail

that connects you and I

to where I am now.

 

Without you I know, it meant nothing.

without time in your bosom

nurturing me, even when

I raged against everything
