I hear Bowie flying off like a bluebird, forever vogelfrei, leaves rustling as the wind sighs heavily one last time. Torn socks and boxers holding on in the corner frantically surrounded by scribbly notes and dim oil canvases, a wooden tribal mask and corporate contact cards: magical portals to your past sentenced to dust by the deep grim sea around, the bridges all out of reach. Unaccessible memories like cement slowly encasing my feet, the water lulling continuously ahead as I wait - motionless - for the mafioso to push but he never does and the saxophone gives its last somber hurrah and the madman stops singing and I croak and cry and scream and stomp deliriously shattering the case into a thousand dazzling pieces, a blazen dance of anguish; the fire exit in reach, the house might burn but was I ever at home? ashen ground like my freed feet, destruction leading to liberation and creation; the bridge now just a step ahead and the still subjugation of the moment beaten: a history to be conquered and a future to be taken. David you made it and so did you Papa and so will I but until then I’ll swim and burn and live to die.
