NIgel's dreadlocks

I miss Nigel's dreadlocks -

His bright clever eyes -

How he wore shorts even when the air was icy -

Rescued donkeys -

Could quote Berkman -

Got up at dawn to walk the salty lanes above the bay -

Thin body casting a trickster's shadow -

Sharing his stories -

The anarchists in Budapest -

Picking apples for dizzying cider in Britanny -

Being a roadie for the young Ian Drury -

Showing his scars from The Battle of the Beanfield -

Now living in his van somewhere in Scotland -

A sly angel with a beguiling tongue -
