Seventy years…
and what have you learned
Don’t give me facts…
what have you learned
Keep your opinions…
what have you learned
Look into my eyes
—what have you learned
(Dreamsleep: November, 2022)
Virility's Throne
The bigger the battle
the greater the man
His future uncertain
his past to command
To struggle ennobled
beyond outcome or fate
Godlike in war
—divinity’s mate

Dear poet, the questions you ask of 70 years are so very potent, and relatable. For in my 73rd year I ask this of myself almost every day. Each time I can answer myself honestly, I feel I have grown just a little more, and that growth never ends.
You're right on all counts, Bella.
Thanks so much.
Kurt
