A Poem, For Grant

For Grant
Spineless boy
I laughed with
the head mocker,
jackal,
who danced with words
spewing tar
on you, innocent,
barratonist.

The smooth low
tones of the jazz cats’
spinal chord.

I laughed though
building regret.
my trombone
missing
crucial beats.
Vital apologies.

A Sicilian funeral
march follows
a procession of mourners
clad in black
walking over dry rocks
regretting forward
momentum.
