poetry

[Jeff Aitken]

the poem i really want to write is an appreciation of harrison -- i remember chris
corrigan laughing that the butterfly role got created because that's what harrison
would be doing during the meeting. so here's an attempt:


the old skipper commands the bar.
all around him the hotel is in storm,
waves run thru the halls, ideas crackle.
but his stories roll on,
his hand light on the wheel.

his tattoo is a butterfly!
no need for bravado.
he has traversed a darkness,
cut free from a chrysalis,
felt the strength of wide wings.

he knows that the calm always comes once again.
