ELATION
God, I have sought you with elation
Beside eager people of good intention.
Those who mine your veins of
Communion in a stain glass church.
We are not outside any part of you.
Meanwhile, there are children with
Hands on hips who prance through
The fire hydrants spray. Near them,
In a vacant lot, sitting on a wreck,
Are adolescent lovers who believe in
Promise like a strawberry horizon.
Can you see with awe and under-
Standing a hopeful world? Undeniable,
There is his mark; to embellish this
Reflection of an active life is a
Posthumous work still in progress.

Arnal, Bravo, mon ami, you are full of welcome surprises after a mere thirty-some years. Life has been "terribly" good to your poetic soul in the intervening years. 'Nuff sedd 4 gnow, JE III
