I remember being
so moved by him, by
his being who he is,
the sheerness of his voice
climbing somewhere in soft words,
skipping nothing human,
loving that he could love.
Night skies moved with his feet, stars
pocketing themselves
in and out of the stage lights:
the wonder of socks,
silver glint
sparkle
wink
twirl:
glitter moments.
Down she went under the waves
And the scene was over.
This is for you.
Oh, Littal Buhrd,
Up in da tree,
You are much, much
Higher up than me.
Oh, Littal Buhrd,
Of small brain,
If I don’t find my 12-Bore,
I’ll go insane!
