Honorable Mention
Those who knew Kirby Blake
Frank Faust

I knew kirby blake
he was a good man
sold me my two and a half acres
up on top of the town
where I've been happy for fifteen years now
he was a good man

I knew kirby too
he lent me money once
when I needed it
charged me no interest
said friends don't do that to each other
he was a friend to me

I knew kirby from when he was ...
...

ah kirby
so these people knew you did they
experienced you on their streets and in their homes
took your help and claimed you as their friend
sending you to your grave now
killed a second time
by drowning in the syrup
dripped by their mourning tongues
every one of them something nice to say

each of them a liar
who helped himself to a little piece of you
making you smaller

better not to dwell on naming names
assigning crimes big and small
but it should be me pointing a finger and saying
you there
you knew kirby blake
and you took from him

and you over there
you knew kirby
but you never made the time
to find out about him

you
at the back
you stole all you could get


yes I could remind them
of a thing or two
hypocrites

kirby blake was the best I man I ever knew
for acting straight with a m..
...

but I knew you kirby
I knew when you needed to be held
sometimes in the night
when you didn't know what was to be
and you were afraid
until I rocked you quiet in my arms
wrapped you up in my song

I knew the way you closed your eyes
when you were inside me
with the sweat running from your face
and your shoulders
in the afternoon heat
until it fell to me and rubbed between us

kirby I knew what it was to give myself to you
so you could get your strength
feel yourself a man
confront these fools and leeches
every day

get it over
get it over
just hurry up and finish

... and he made me a gift of it
I won't ever forget him

amen to that
