      To Lee

      Your words are scattered

      Like stars against the night

      From your long years

      Brightness in your fading light

      Familiar now your even script

      On the envelope quickly ripped

      Memory of the life you’ve lived

      Treasured as a precious gift

      In riotous India tongas rush

      60 years as yesterday

      Sailors brawl and lovers sing

      In debauched, deadly Tiger Bay

      Love and loss and love again

      Old soldier by a lonely grave

      Sam Helen’s legion’s marching by

      Words of beauty never die
