Out of the blue, I got a call,
unexpected coincidence,
the night after I saw Belew,
out of the blue, you up and died,
for the love of God, no one knew,
the cancer you had quietly
harvested your body for health,
ending your life on a blue note,
believe me, I know why you kept
literally, your privacy,
under the radar, you flew low
enough to crash and burn alone,
I say alone but you had friends,
granted precious few the knowledge
of your suffering and sorrow,
the experience of cancer,
and who am I, a long lost friend,
come and go, unlike family,
appear and disappear, as friends
leave town, lose touch, left in the dark,
languish elsewhere in ignorance.
