Without Trace, By The Kaptain

For David Blackburn, wherever you are…

Did you go to ground
Harried by the hounds?
Did it seem, that day
Like the only way?

Vanish without trace…
To some quieter place…

Did they bite your heels –
Agents of ill-will?
Was it never clear
That we shared your fears?

Vanish without trace…
To a better place…

Was it stubborn pride
Made you run and hide?
Don’t you know your friends
Would have helped you then?

Vanish without trace…
To an unknown place…

You’re missed, my friend
Please send a sign
To show us you’re alive…
Return again
To make us smile –
We’ll help you to survive…

  4. Your presence is reserved on stool #3 for Jags on tap at Ric’s down in the bunk, Bum. Cool ice required. Pork served with no arse biting allowed before noon. Prepare neck brace for solo band KKZ. Karaoke Kamikaze Zero barrel rolling at 5:00 o’clock high spitting sick beats. Hom’n in the coon plow, eight lines of road stripe out of either eye. Down in the bunk.
