'you Got Me On My Knees'
Slide shrieks in anguish
Nearing dog-whistle domain
Then he makes it cry...
('Layla' - Derick and the Dominos - Written and sung by Eric Clapton - featuring the late

Twin Fathers
Clapton at the ‘Crossroads,’
virtuoso running free
Winwood pounding ‘I’m A Man,’
his genius at the keys
Tonight inside the ‘Garden,’
time stopped as God decreed
Twin fathers back together
—the ‘Blues’ their history
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)...

Heaven's Thunder
Eric never asked a question,
Stevie couldn’t answer
As hearts aspire, their stage on fire,
the Garden’s roof asunder
One lick and then another,
with Clapton our new mother
As Winwood melts a father’s keys,
—to hell with heaven’s thunder
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)...

Listening To Layla
Seven decades old today
And years away from Cream,
Eric Clapton, on guitar,
Will always reign supreme.
Listening to “Layla,”
I’m amazed it sounds so fresh,
Like the man himself were standing here
Before me, in the flesh.
A rocker keeps on rocking
Often to the crowd’s lament
But in Clapton’s case, quite clearly,
Time has barely made a dent!...

Death Blow
Mirror in the bathroom,
this makes no sense.
Like the glass top table
in the room I rent,
or my credit card
with numbers white as snow,
the straw cut down
an eighth its size.
Our love affair is growing old
but I know you're in control.
She don't lie, she don't lie,
She don't lie to you,
so Clapton says,
but we both know
you're my only friend,
and with you I'll wind up dead....
