If only I had known the sadness
Raging in your soul,
I'd have sent an angel, bearing light

Poor compared to your soul-wrenching work, buddy, but I've noticed a deeply contemplative tone to your poems. Such is the heart of great poetry. Another Laz gem. Thanks for writing it.

I'll be watching.

Dog-eared book. Either WT or else The Shadow of the Wind. Ch. 30 in that one is maybe the funniest chapter of a novel I've ever read. Fermin and Daniel go to a home for the dying run by nuns :)
The Illusionist...you've hooked me!
