Old gentle vague dark sea stars uncoffined above my drummer grave blind of age, meet Mr. Numb Feelgood he is dying - chasing smoke, following a blind parade wanderinโ anywhere forked like Yes at every dusty, homely, strange-eyed landmark until driven deep down dead
Dear old diamonds, my sleepy southern song spell fades , my past was a young clown dancing, swingin' my magic heels raging and cursing deathโs grip on time
Now, I feel that morningโs fierce burn vanishing into a tambourine memory and Iโm caught madly dreaming against the ragged anywhere to return green tomorrow
This poem was composed primarily from words found in Bob Dylan's "Tambourine Man", Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night", and Thomas Hardy's Drummer Hodge
