I attended your Symphony in August and was moved to tears. I think of you and your family often. Will you write us a poem about how much you love Susie?

First, massive respect, always. Also, I wonder if you ever came across my poem, ‘Sometimes a Wild God’? I did wonder, with your new album (the poem gets about a bit) and then I thought perhaps not. I think you might like it… You can find it here: https://tomhirons.com/poetry/sometimes-a-wild-god Many thanks for your continuing genius and commitment to the real life.

I’m eighteen and I don’t know what to do with my life. Do you think this poem is any good?I’m a tree made of bonesReaching up to the skyWith my crooked wooden arms stretching highAnd with my thin ivory skin I’m standing in the purple fieldAnd I run, I run, I run from the sunAnd I am a fleshless rabbitAll fur and bonesStaring with my big blue eyesAnd I run, I run, I run from the sunAnd now I call for the moonAnd I call for the olive treesBut all I can hear is the sound of the willowsShivering in the wind for me
