I am working at updating the whole of my website, moving as much material off stand-alone HTM pages (for easier management). The poems that have been placed on graphic images have been a problem, in terms of where to place them. Do I put them with the artwork on the Graphics blog? Or here with fiction (and other poetry). I’ve decided to bring them here. Of course, as I move them, there are some hyperlinks on the site that I will have to update, but that’s the way it goes.
Anyway, about this poem: this was written in remembrance of Jack Gilbert shortly after his death four years ago. He was a gentle soul, a quite soul, a truly godly man in the best ways. He is much missed.
Update: This poem was originally added to my website in April 2012. So I am creating backdated blog posts to match the original uploads, so it will appear twice in this blog.
