the tattooed man's compassion
the tattooed man's compasion feels like sadness
his heart goes out to all that lives and breathes
he wishes for their moments of sheer gladness
as he settles in to memories thick weeds
the movement on his skin is holigraphic
as memory it passes time to time
the many lives he's lived tight in his grip
he longs for his compassion and his rhyme
the simple things that take life every day
the wife who kills the ants and he the wasp
make him shudder slightly he will pay
for all that he as taken all he's lost
the tatooed man grows older by his markings
showing for all time his loves and workings

Leo,
You believed in me always and brought something out in me that I never trusted was there. I will miss you terribly. The world is not as bright without you here. With much love and best wishes for the journey - my dad said he was going to the festivities. I hope that's what it's like.
