I loved the image of the lungs as twin forests of redwood trees. These poems are so beautiful. You really touch deep places in my heart, John.

As a writer myself, I know it's never a given in my mind that someone will love what I write do I understand the tenderness in your response. And part of me is thinking how can you not know? I love all your writing, truthfully. These were especially sweet.
