Punched with Buk,
their ringed dings of words’
sooty-belled
truth a-pealed
to ears that could absorb them;
both undefeated.
Pulled us in;
cinemagenic
serial
called, “Blackthorne”:
Buck, Johnny, … and Salina.
He served his justice.
Shared his life:
his world as orphan,
as soldier,
as actor,
yet first always as teacher,
selflessly giving.
Forever
he will play in the
timelessness
as stardust,
cavorting through galaxies,
heart yet beyond words.
Note: Buk in the first one refers to Charles Bukowski, who I saw Glenn as a kindred poetic spirit with.
Please read our recent tribute to Glenn at dVerse here.
I was also able to find this Q&A featuring Glenn in the dVerse archives, dated 6/17/13.
Read Glenn’s writing at his blog here.
I’m missing you, Glenn.

Beautiful tribute. I am finding more and more that just thinking about and writing about those we have loved and loss helps heal some of the pain and brings people together who share that pain.
