A Soul in Pain Over Lost Child
About Al Martinez: Where did you find this little man with one troubled heart who reaches out in pain for a small child’s death; who breaks our hearts in poetic phrases, commenting his demise; who stirs our salty Malibu blood on the sewer issue, making us angry and resentful for misunderstanding our problem, then breaks down our defenses in soul-wrenching questions of the loss of a tiny child?
Don’t lose him. He makes the Thursday Times worth searching for in the bushes on a cold morning.
