I heard a song today that I know
I am not better for having heard.
**** you, Steve Forbert and
**** you for
"But everything burned
And fell from my hand
I had to turn back
Or build a new plan"
My life was better before this affirmation
of the universal human experience
of whole entire worlds burned
to less than ashes
in those moments of clarity.
"Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright"
We could have stopped at
"Romeo's Tune"
and danced forever
in the kitchen of my heart.
That might have been
the nostalgic space you occupied
but you weren't ever happy
until you had force ****** me:
"You're thinking you've found
The one special place
Where all your dreams
Will walk out in line
And follow the course
You've made in your mind
It isn't gonna be that way"
1978-2020
More than forty years apart
the same soul sick hurting!
Can you feel it now
when the sun warms your skin?
Does your heart sing love songs as before?
Did it feel like betrayal when you
rejoined everyone who had been waiting?
I need so much to believe
you are ok now Steve Forbert.

I don't think this is done.
