Dear Jane, It’s been nearly a week, I hope you have had a productive and peaceful time. I have sent several poems and letters to you over the last several days, I hope you received them well in a timely fashion.

Moon-Milk Eyes
I am but a lowly sailor, says I, cruelly cursing, cruising around in a messy tide I am as messy as the wolfish sea so I sail with her, not against as I glide

Dear Jane
Dear Jane, These past few days have wreaked so much for me in the way of loss and pain. Though I celebrated my daughter Adele’s birthday and much was to be happy for, to be celebrated and enjoyed, as she has made me proud of her studious practice of religion and education, and of her growth in general, there was a tremendous blow.
