You are gone / but your wild things are / still with us.

This one is written in fond memory of the magical words and cadence of Maurice Sendak, who died today.

“The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another his mother called him ‘WILD THING!’”

Of course, I have a son named Max… 🙂
