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
