How much I enjoyed
Your company last night
Charlie you stalwart thinker
Warming up the complicated thoughts
That prove thinking comes first
And John for seeing the farm boy in you
Still giving gentleness its strength
Strength its gentleness
And Rachel buoyant sun
Inclusive of all the colors
But always conscious of the earth
And Kim whose practiced speech
Put me off at first but the truth
Is always spontaneous and ringing
And then there’s Teri
L’Arlessienne and yet Italian
How many lives
You must have suffered through
To sing with such
Purity and tact
And me mute sponge and nudger
My Leonardo Michelangelo Caravaggio
As we must be I thank you
