Bearded Electric

(For Jim Morrison)

Lucy Tonic

Poet in a concho

Myth for the ages

Enigma luminous

Bearded electric

Did their knaves and knifes stick you

Bind you with a trial

Of all the confines and cages

Your last straw paid someone's wages

Stole your peace of mind

And various other pieces

You predicted the machines

And they surely came

Genetic disposition for

Eternal inquisition

Did you enjoy the ride

Is your theater still running

Have you forgiven Zeus

Or are you riding that lightning bolt

If he let you finish the job

Setting the world afire

I'd have loved to watch it burn with you
