The Rainbow Kid
Doesn't know he is dead
Yet he writes no more poetry
But death
Not melancholy
Dragged him away
But he still sits beside my bed
Whispers in my ear....
Of the Old South, and old dogs
Sports jackets, his Mama
The silver thimble and the Medicine jar.
All night he begs me
To read aloud.
Dedicated to Steve Lail
1944-1998

Beautiful story, "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it".
