dead
gone
unworkable
unmitigating circumstances
desolation
grizzled peach fuzz
a primal wound
a primordial crucifixion
Ochs hung himself
Shepard too
Hemingway shot himself thinking of Cuba
Leonard slipped away
everything burned, but his records
they just sat there asking what else you got
new skin folded back like a tulip resisting the occupation
a blue raincoat courting privilege and fighting back
tears
you won’t come back
not this time
Flowers for Hitler
just another merciless heartbreak
Beautiful Losers haunts
us like a familiar fedora or lover’s unemotional screw
lost
found
raging
silent Buddhist monk preparing an invisible meal for his
invisible master
