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..."

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.

Telepathy
it's normal To be staring Willing numerous thoughts To reach by going through
you're away clueless
is out of order to reach you using telepathy!
