Bobby Womack - d. June 27th 2014

It's all over now,

but your soul

wrote such poetry.

And though the struggle’s
not yet done,
it’s time for you to cross 
that wide, wide street.

Eli Wallach - d. June 24th 2014

over and over,
as the baddest of the bad,
the ugliest of the ugly.
In the end,
it was all good.

then got up, walked away,
but when it came
to the hardest scene of all
there was no-one on-set
to double for you.

has proved you destructible,
but Death holds the promise
of melody, rhapsody, symphony,
harmony, destiny.

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.

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

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

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

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.
