1. to davy, my english hanuman

   RIP DAVY JONES

   when you were a simple monkey
   asked to deliver a single bud,
   you brought a field of asian amber flush.
   your unbridled devotion
   thrust you to monkey god.

   now, you divinely intervene
   and bring me messages of him.

   i find him in a soup kitchen
   baking apple bread in a
   t-shirt depicting two quarreling
   monkeys captioned,
   “double talk.”

   he loves me and focuses on
   monkees rerun marathons
   late into the night preserving
   our chaste, intimate love.
   tonight’s virgin viewing is
   in your honor
   and cinematic eulogy,
   davy.

   humming your swanee river,
   i shiver with relief that
   my heart no longer attacks.

   thank you,
   for the anthem bouquets
   of my youth.
