To Dearest Michael,
I met Michael, in my most unpoetic time –
In a not-so-unpoetic place. The year was 2017,
I had just joined Trinity College, as a PhD student.
We met at a poetry reading.
A new stranger to Michael, I approached him.
Eavan Boland brought us together.
We thought to know each other, then.
He handed me his card. I gifted him, four poems.
