- Your chords struck
like summer lightning,
cool, charismatic,
lost in the ephemeral
geography of Route 66
jamming with Waters,Hendrix and Page
in unrecorded sessions,
unannounced out of town gigs,
no Sam Phillips and
Union Avenue for you,
just the frisson of
word of mouth and late
night unattended studios;
Your fledgling promise
of a could've,should've future
eclipsed by adrogynous pin-ups
and their Top 40 golden disc,
that got taken away from you
in a too early Christmas
morning phonecall you made,
"you let them steal my song,you.."
that ensured you were never heard;
Years later, discarded
recordings belatedly retrieved
from forgotten storerooms,
piqued public curiosity,
"whatever happened to..."
2 a.m. rundown motel lobby,
someplace south of New Orleans,
a late night deal,
a drunken brawl,
a passing Sheriff
who thought he saw
you reaching for...
chords that struck
like summer lightning.
