From nose to tail smooth skin of black his fiery eyes alert;

Disgraceful Old Man

...Old man is named for years gone by.  
In this era, health can receive support.  
The old man’s dull ears and eyes,  
And lost teeth can be rejuvenated.

The Boy Who Writes Alone

...needs no introduction
nor permission  
to be anything.  
He does not request  
to spread his arms wide  
and reach the heavens.  
His words are unmoored.

Come in to the Coil
