I never really knew you,
maestro
me neither
but I saw you out on the wing
did you?
back in the room
for the try-out
your note
helped me sing
in the falling.

Yes, I’d seen that wizardry somewhere before
maybe in the silent era, in the ring, or was it on the talking floor
beyond words
laughter
brought us together
tears
when was that?
past the last act
didn’t think it was possible,
til I watched you with the others on the green
refreshing,
refreshed,
fuelled
ready to go the next round.

Those of us there saw the thrill of life
shake a spear, like the spirit warrior
you always were
an openhearted man, Marcello
no sides
all sides
good taste
such style
let’s tango
okay!

I never really knew you,
maestro
me neither
but I touch
you here
past and future in this all-encompassing present… rip it up
sight unseen

I never really knew you,
until this play in life
brought us together
the heart of our family

Thank you
