Drive me somewhere
I don't know, with drifters,
pianists and fake pop stars
for company. Drive me away
from the heat of the drama
to a place colder than hell.

Bernard Cribbins - d. July 28th 2022
watching those of us who were left
moving furniture for the last time,
from the old house and into the store
of time. We was getting nowhere,
and so we had a cup of tea,
and then we went home.

Paul Ryder - d. July 15th 2022
a house band plays; all
sidemen like you, beyond
form and performance
in and out of shadows,
fixed on funk, punk, glam,
ever open to misadventure.
David Warner - d. July 24th 2022
another unsuitable case. And yet, glance
in the mirror and there you are, marked
by Satan for gruesome death, sad head
spinning into nightmares, time after time.

Monty Norman - d. July 11th 2022
but oh, the thrill of the kill,
the shrill squeal of tyres,
the bullet in the barrel,
the fist, the kiss, the cruelty,
mystery, glamour, death, in
a hundred and eight seconds.

John Gwynne - d. July 9th 2022
Deepdale, Spotlands,
Boundary Park.
Elsewhere it is game
shot and match, game
shot and match.
There is drama
in everything
and nothing goes
without saying.

Tony Sirico - d. July 8th 2022
is the peevish prince of New Jersey,
reptilian in loafers and cream slacks.
A defrocked priest welcomes him to
purgatory, where saints give blowjobs
and even archangels get whacked.

James Caan - d. July 6th 2022
over the causeway, through
the tolls without stopping,
past the skatepark and the
bloodthirsty crowds. We’ll go
to the mattresses, one last time.
