THIS. You capture — no, reveal — what happens “in the shade of a large cedar,” and give the gift of light to the parts of us we would otherwise live out our whole lives believing are invisible. THIS is why the world needs you, Robert Okaji!
Such a voice this poet has! I read the poem first on paper. It was truly an experience at an x-squared level to hear it read so sonorously. Thank you, Robert-Bob.

It took me years to realize that the aural component was equally important. If it doesn’t sound good, it’s not good. 😀
