In memory of Syd Barrett, founder of Pink Floyd.

FOR SYD

Sketchy visionary

Acid damage psychosis

Reclusive gene of exclusive endowment

Eccentric gifted flair

Although we never met

I know you intimately

Together we watched Emily play

Beseeched the gates of dawn

Our demons

Pranced on common ground

Tripping to life’s inconsistencies

Sordid hallucinations

Fantastic world of black light freak

You crossed the river in defiance

My children kept me on the shore

Your cries for help

Unanswered

Your genius

So misunderstood

Sublime articulation

Sacred oath to complex individualism

Enigma avant-garde

Composer’s brilliant daydream

Forever torched in my mind

The voyeurs shall haunt you no longer

Rest now

Weary minstrel

Shine on
