Lyric Man

It was atlantic beach I went
In search of pearls and cowries
Sad, to voidness I return:
I do not see him, Dave my Lyric Man.
My darling Dave, 
Wherever you may be today
Roam not the street when it snows
Lest you soak your feet in it
Snow - yawning hungry morgue-
And coil not like millipede
Nor condense like wintery butter
But remember your warm cafe cup 
And that fair lady you used to write about
Drink and bounce and bounce .

What a sweet take you have come up with, Kayode! Such a pity that he had to bow to pressure, whatever that was! ~ All the best. // paul
