How he's still part of my life -
How I hope he will forgive me for being silent -
I remember the glasses of Sancerre in The American Bar -
The poetry in The Square Tower -
Watching John Agard roll a joint in Joe Jackson's house -
The crates of Gales HSB in the boot of the MG Magnette -
Standing by the jukebox in The Red White and Blue with the lost boys -
All his adventures -
Moscow, Vientiane, Zanzibar -
And the years like a wave coming down -
The scans, the vast hospital -
I must see you -
See the history of our friendship in your face -
June 2026
