And in this frigid hour, when the earth
smells of human dust and is so sad,
I want to knock on every door
and beg forgiveness of I don’t know whom,
and bake bits of fresh bread for him,
here, in the oven of my heart. . .

Thanks for sharing that song and that performance. Louis is a favorite of mine.
This is beautiful and bursting with humanity. More humanity is needed between mankind. I love when poetry is able to express this burning need for kindness and compassion for other human beings. β€ππππππ·πΈππβ€
