Michael's art has matured with time, and there's no doubt it will get even better in the coming years.

Soaked with sadness,
you will ignite and envelop the whole of
your body when a shadow from your wrecked past
stops by for a cup of tea. 
You fear yourself
because one day you will dig your teeth into your skin;
seeking defenseless flesh. seeking death. you exist only to hurt.
