This brief life, a bird in flight:
a fortunate man and witness.

I should carve stone
at least commit to print.

My dues, my thanks, to
Hippocrates of Kos: his blood
And his descendants.

Knowledge and craft: talents freely given.
Mindful of my debts:
I will unbind the wings of others
And watch them fly.
