For Lazaro.

Ridiculously, some might say,

I cried all the way home after I

met you.

But those who would say such

a thing would never understand

your sublime

perfection,

your precious spirit.

Surely they would never see as

I see into your past and present

and future all

at once.

Surely they have never held you

and smelled you and kissed at

the air because

you had breathed

into it.

So I shall remain ridiculously,

crazily, and maybe inexplicably,

a completely smitten

fan of your

incredible beingness.

Thank you for coming to

Planet Earth.

Love you!!!
