too impassioned to ignore,
how strong begets strong,
invincible, and more.

Mac Davis - September 29th 2020
a smart young man,
a singular pen among
the drunks and cheaters,
an unlikely conscience.

Juliette Grèco - d. September 23rd 2020
une page avec un million de poèmes,
toute délicatesse, souplesse, doigteé,
la chanson qui brûle,
et le fera toujours.
Your voice is a wisp of smoke,
a page with a million poems,
all delicacy, suppleness, skill,
the song that burns,
and always will.

Michael Lonsdale - d. September 21st 2020
it is the draught that blows
through the unholy labyrinth,
the tyranny of empty space,
the harm that comes to all.

Shere Hite - d. September 9th 2020
and the universe centres
on this place, this now.
You wrote freedom anew,
independence, adventure,
opened up the life to come.

Frederick 'Toots' Hibbert - d.11th September 2020
I do the right thing -
righteous rocksteady,
gospel style, pyramid

always been my number.

Diana Rigg - d. September 10th 2020
catsuited and a snug gun
down the boot. A hidden
tiger, an impossible girl
to find, even if you had all
the time in the world.
Ronald Bell - d. September 9th 2020
you had received your calling,
a column of dry ice,
mirrorball still spinning.
Good times, always,
a life to celebrate. Come on!

David Bryant - d. August 27th 2020
feel the perfect line
from hand to jack, weigh
the bias of the world
in your soft palm,
draw to a hair's breadth,
then ascend in a haze
of grit and tobacco.
