JEWELS ON HIS BIRTHDAY

                    79 YEARS AFTER NAGASAKI

                     What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light.

                                        Gospel of Matthew

                (an epigraph of Bonhoeffer’s,

                writing in The Cost of Discipleship)

                          for Marty Lovins

Bottle cap and a bag of gold

That’s what this is. This pin

on my t-shirt. Wire-tied.

That’s how one keeps his medicine.
