The man who loved Lennon
David loved Lennon
expressed it in bass,
and his lips were a gauntlet
of beautiful words,
unsung words
that became poems on her lips.
David loved Lynda.
Expressed it in shillings,
buying twelve unneeded plectrums
for twelve priceless moments,
moments that wrinkled
from smiles and old thirty threes.
Lynda loved to be loved.
Expressed it in walking away.
Her heels played bass singing fear
but David changed the song
and in 1969 beneath a Yoko white veil
three sons, and four grandchildren waited
on lips that lived beyond Lennon.
