The courteous presentation
you prepared,
could have been forfeited. The truth is,
I'm not sure that any of us
really deserved it.
And while the sincerity was plainly stamped
all over, it was the mere mention of gift that seemed
an implicit cry
for insulation.
The light, with is immutable reminder
of all things
dim,
would have been just as
admirable.
