two conspirators plotting via ether,
you spinning me to my own revolution,
me in awe of each sonic revelation.
In the darkness, a voice. Is that you?
I like this one. You might like it too.

Desmond Tutu - d. December 26th 2021
beyond evil and its noise,
to form a better argument,
not just to raise your voice,
to know that forgiveness
is a grace and not a choice.

Sally Ann Howes - d. December 19th 2021
before and beyond the adult
I reluctantly became, and yet
even now my heart beats
so unruly at the possibilities
of love, song and silly stories.

Thomas ‘Mensi’ Mensforth - d. December 10th 2021
who lives what others only sing,
who knows the fascists in town
and calls them out. It isn’t art
but it’s a start, to shout a warning,
in song and not be shouted down.

Anne Rice - d. December 11th 2021
you smelled the fears
that filled our veins.
You alone wrote them
in a haemovore's hand,
humanised the inhuman,
breathed pity into undeath.

Mike Nesmith - d. December 10th 2021
have someone to pretend to be,
someone deep in the shallows,
someone quiet amid the hoopla,
someone tender in a tapioca world.

Robbie Shakespeare - d. December 8th 2021
And no blues party bluer. A bass rumble
Deeper than Dawkins Pond tells the people:
God's riddim section is mashing up Babylon.
Steve Bronski - d. December 9th 2021
out a perfect beat, stopping
at even the smallest towns.
A young man steps aboard,
cheap synth under his arm,
looks for a seat. He's come
so far, but still so far to go.
