Post Neo-Noir Poetry by Dr. Terrell Neuage

Saw an angel a moment ago

In Memory of Leigh Neuage (July 6, 1983 - August 16, 2003)

About Post Neo-Noir Neuage

Neo-noir Neuage is a revival of noir Neuage textuality, a genre that flourished during the post-hippie era—roughly from 1970 to 2015—following the Neuage-Textuality hippie era of the 1960s. Post Neo-noir Neuage is the present time. There was also the short-lived Fucked Poetry of Neuage, but we have moved past that era. To explore more, see the Content/Index of all works for this cycle.

Note: Terrell Neuage was known as Terrell Adsit before 1980, when the name was changed to Neuage in Hawaii.

Saw an angel 
a moment ago 
who spoke of peace
Saw an angel
a moment ago
who spoke of peace
and I spoke of
being alone
and the angel
showed me
the peace
of being alone.

Everyone Was There

Everyone was there

my mum who put me up for adoption then
died from cancer

my mum who raised me then died from old age

my brother who still is my favourite
human who died of AIDS

my girl friend who killed herself in 1987

my girl friend who killed herself
in 1972

my master teacher who died of a brain tumour

my master teacher who killed
herself

my dog (puppy) who chased another dog whilst in heat never to return

We shared a glass of liquid light

talked about the old days

and how strange it was

that I was still alive

when the plan had always been

that I would go first

and meet all of them

after I had set the table

for this our final meal together.

Though my dad (94 this year) is still doing fine up there in Clifton Park, actually but a boomerang’s toss from the woods in the photo above. Just thought I would share all this with you today.
