My Buddy
for Henry Normile
Marcus Belgrave
standing outside the church
in that tan trench coat,
snowflakes dropping softly
into the up-turned bell
of his golden horn,
sending up some beautiful music
into the celestial ears
of our beloved pal,
literally blasted away
just days ago
by shotgun shells
through the neck, but now
surely resting his weary ass
on a cloudly bed
full of gorgeous angels
busily ministering to his every need
according to his personal creed:
"cocaine,
pussy, & lobster--
in that order."
O Henry, you fucking candy bar
of a man,
you sweet motherfucker,
I can see the big grin
that lights up your angelic face,
digging the lovely sounds of Marcus--
now as always, in Heaven
as it was on Earth,
forever & ever, Amen--
my man, A-
