no one like you....

the blue egg, canon 20 d

tonight we gathered.
tonight you were smothered in love and loss and
memories.
remember your birthday and how dreamy michael smith was ...?
sippin beers to patty griffin...?
hanging out with the weepies....?
i have so much music tied up in my thoughts of you.
did you hear us speak of the tattoos?
i know this would make you smile. . .

your letter was read tonight.
your last letter. the one you wrote 20 years ago for this very time.

i am speechless.
death has not stopped your voice.

and tonight as the coyotes howled like i have never heard them,
i knew it was somehow stirred by you.
your spirit now free, your song so piercing...

oh jon.
keep in touch,
because there is no one like you.
and your family and loved ones need
you to help clear the fog.
we still need you around, in the music, in the poetry,
in the wild howls of nature...
