For Warren Zevon

a rememberance

In time nobody will recall the howling of werewolves,
London or the name of Queens
Maybe it's the price we all pay for dreaming
Maybe it's the closeness of our ages
when you passed
The eighth was always a black day
when the ocean fell silent
and the dolphin all wept
I live where your heroes once roamed
Frank and Jesse James of Missouri
I wish I had the answers to life and death
or even enough faith to believe that I could
ever find the answer
or understand if I did
So today Hasten down the wind
will become your epitath
and I'll listen by my door
for the sound of your footsteps

The next time I'm walking the streets of SoHo in the rain with a Chinese menu in my hand, lookin' for Lee Ho Fook's and a big dish of beef chow mein, I'll remember the "Excitable Boy"... me and the other werewolves will be howlin' for ya Warren! THANK YOU, William Haynes, for writing this tribute to a true original! It makes an unrepentant rocker like me proud! Draw blood!
