Adolf Ens (elegy) 1933-2024

TB 
18 months in Ninette 
and then  everything broke like branches in the woods
from science to faith 
    from facts to love 
        from chemistry to seminary  

thin family man with soft voice 
loved birds and birdsong on a bicycle 
to teach his classes 
thick glasses reading student lives 
in their rapt faces 

sometimes legends 
are left behind 
because of a nudge at Ninette
