Tom Traubert's Blues

~Tom Traubert's Blues~

 

None of my old friends

will play my funeral request.

Every one of them died before me. 

I even sang it to them

so they would remember.

In my opinion, those who have left are waiting

for you in a better place... but please keep them waiting for a lot

longer

Tragic, heavy blues, indeed.

Tragic, heavy blues, indeed. Someone has to be the last one, huh.

your poem is synchronistic with what I was feeling today..

that I would not want to stay in a world from which my loved ones

had departed
