Email Poem | Today's Poetry

 Christopher
You lived in the big screen
explosive and raw -
left reels of yourself -
books - pages and more.

Your thoughts - all in focus -
splintered and cut -
made mess of the stupid
and thumped in the gut.

You feared not the mighty -
went straight to the heart -
flamboyant and funny -
and pulled them apart.

Your voice - rich and velvet -
shone over the rest -
outspoken and teasing -
clever at best.

Your words - strong on paper
and in cyber space -
still punch out your passion
with a raw sort of grace.

Joy Weare,
21st December, 2011.

Christopher Hitchens
1949 - 2011
