Julian Wilson - d. 20th April 2014

One furlong out
and it's Sidmouth Boy
followed by The Patrician
in the sheepskin noseband
but at the line
it's Mr Raffish
and the rest nowhere.

Who's in the box?
Our Eli.
Eli?
Aye. 'E were a legend.
There's no room for 'im,

You could ask 'em 
to move up a bit.

H. R. Giger - d. May 12th 2014

no fears for you;
you already saw
the interior of Hell,
designed it,
painted it,
passed it on.

Bob Hoskins - d. April 29th 2014

You knew your range,
who you could not be,
and opted for depth,
a kind of credibility.
A bit more than an 'ot dog,
know what I mean?

From the last echo of the silents
to the clean sheen of pixels
there was that charm, that smile,
that small part in everything.

Frankie Knuckles d. March 31st 2014

When you were young
life was the groove
that wouldn’t stop,
an endless break,
but here comes 
the crossfade,
the spinback, 
house lights up.

Tony Benn - d. March 14th 2014

You opted for purpose,
not privilege.
You clung not to power,
but principles.
You lived not for policies,
but people.

Bob Crow - d. March 11th 2014

Yes, you were awkward,
but your kind of awkward
meant this;
upholding the powerless,
defending the choiceless,
translating the voiceless.
