Marianne Faithfull By Kevin M. Hibshman


You finally made it home where sainted martyrs roam,
humming the songs of their resplendent youth.
The IT girl on a motorcycle gone bad as we like them to.
You were the news in a brand new way.
Girlfriend, groupie, protege.
Actress, addict, ever glamorous, my modern day doyenne.
I want to ride tonight with Marianne in black leather.
Circling the city like two pet vultures.
Vampires who must heed the coming of day
How can I be sad when you lived so many lives and cheated 
many deaths?
Your black eyes shining with a melancholy all your own.
We'll speed past the wall where you sat, high and ignored by 
everyone.
We shall revisit a swinging London alive in sound.
Mother, maven without a throne.
Your face not easily forgotten.
Sister morphine, wish I could reach her on my phone.
