Tommy
You once walked to the purest music
And put into our minds the skull-faced masks
And welded metals
Of yesterday’s devils and puppeteers.
The same butterflies
Denote storybooks and family legacies.
A throwback and a raconteur,
Writing the tale of a man and a monster,
And the areas where the two
Find themselves intertwined.

such a good characterization
the last stanza is powerful
wherein we all can find
the man and monster within
