Roxy

all the young dudes
feather'd & possessed
a sparkling sequined mess,
so special
& so eloquent
heavensent
What I meant to say is
of all the sounds I hear
with my humble human ear none
are as delicious
or nutritious

oh roxy,
you're my maggy may
more beautiful tonight
than you ever were back in the day
oh roxy, your golden boys
make a beautiful noise
after all these years
you still bring tears to my eyes

sweeter sounds
from space were never heard
or a perfect turn of word,
like a whirlwind,
you blow in again
& all the songs
have been in my head
& heart for o so long
It's like listening to a kiss.
Oh, you'll never know
how very much we missed you
dearest

Oh roxy,
you're my maggie may
more beautiful tonight
than you ever were
back in the day
oh roxy,
your golden boys
make a beautiful noise
after all these years
you still bring tears to my eyes
