Eventually Heath-Stubbs began - poet, teacher, wit, raconteur and man
Of letters - littering his poems with references

From the back row I strained to see his face.
The craggy jaw, the mane of long white hair.

And I remember the dark after, the studio closed,
The cameras stolen, slivers of glass from the smashed
Bay window littering the unsanded floors,

Before Mr. Hirata died, months later,
From complications following pneumonia.
His death, a letter from a camp official said,
Was purely accidental. I didn't believe it.
Diseases were wise. Diseases, like the polio
