GROUPIE

woke up this morning with a David Bowie face…

felt my nose and it wasn’t, I supposed
Because it was so aquiline,
and held a fragrance near divine

Satinskin wrapped ‘round the head
And cheeks like a ledge
for holding tears on jawline wedge

Brows curved at my bidding,
to the left to the right
lowered like a touch from the sheik in the night

Jawbone of rolled silk from ear to ear
And ears were two shells
where Gods poured in their beer

My hair brushed back with Golden Years
And a hairline carved with care
Any icy meltdown stare from blue green points of view
A pupil one could drown in, obsidianic pool

Mona Lisa lips were painted harlequin
In so surreal a grin,
I kissed them full
and fell right in

GROUPIE
Written 1980
Inspiration
This was written by my mother, the original Cronin. She was a TRUE David Bowie groupie!  "We are the goonsquad and we're coming to town, beep! beep!"  Mom, David Bowie "never did anything out of the blue" - that's what was playing on the radio wheen "he" proposed to me...I should not have taken Bowie's advice!
