Begging To Be Let In (tribute to Jez)


He has written with wit that
abrades all tertiary objections,
sung tunes with an affectionate
lilt to the endings, praised all things
and some with voyeurs afflictions –
but most especially paid due tribute
to beauty. And he is sincere in his
contrition, knocks discretely
at the door to recognition
– begging to be let in.
