Saw an angel a moment ago
In Memory of Leigh Neuage (July 6, 1983 - August 16, 2003)
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.
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.
