Extended Eulogy For Hussein Alasdair McGaw, 13

jubilant to have lent on his dervish jig, same one
calmin’ and rearmin’ Derek Jarman, whirlwaltzing thru
theoutofprint diaries, his the jigwithuplifttwist
that rejuvenated ‘n’ rejigged, deleting Del’s immunodeficient
blues in ‘Kicking the Pricks’. And one of the Emperor’s guests
in ‘Sebastiane' derekted in ‘76, my extra uncle only 25
when super8eyed setdesigner shot Romoerotic flick.
But no ‘Sister of Perpetual Indulgence’ from Jarman’s hareem he,
Brother of Infinite Tolerance bashed the gayscene,
bristled at its lurid ‘lockupyerbrothers’ acid lewdness.
Only a screamer
when his motorbike was on the mike,
MC CCs givin’ it some wheel welly was the gleaming geegee,
horsepowerhouse whose handlebars his hands boarded,
hopping on that shrieking silver Shergar, haring over
to dying Del-Jar’s postmodern Dungeness coastgarden.
