Goodbye My Countryman

 In Bereavement for the BearImage

Born of the dark and bloody ground

Who was probably insane, but maybe onto something

our new Ice Age begins as you leave.

My fellow Quassie-Aussie, fold back into the dust, the trees and gas-fueled fires.

 

Dedicated guerilla chemist – my sadness is unexplained, I didn’t really know you.

Madman mystic of improbable magic – hit me I am lonely.

My fellow son of the new burning Rome,

We shared end of era and the first days of a new sun burning the land, goodbye.
