To RKS you were my first you could have been my last you are my lost
And to YHWH You are my first You are my last I'm no longer lost Isaiah 61:1-3 "...beauty for ashes..."

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A big thank you to David Citino and his amazing, inspirational book "Paperwork", for reminding me that poems - and poets - are worth something.
Many thanks to my namesake "Mimi" Mik for taking the time to read my crazy poems, and for giving me her invaluable feedback. You rock!
Asante sana to Murfy's Flaw for being one of the coolest and 'down-to-earthest' Kenyan rock bands! And for allowing their awesome song "In Silence" to be part of the soundtrack of this book of poems.
I salute the prolific poet Phatalvision for reading ALL my poems! By the way sir, "old school" is "gold 'n' cool" :-)
I am very thankful to my mum, dad and sister, for putting up with me all these years. I love you!
