Ol' Johnny Wap
Harmonica and soul
Played his fire Music
with Passionate breath

raging 'gainst Light
Johnny's made whole
in the Fire's music
a soft-spoken Death;

Girating and Burning,
something all Feeling
he Was the Fire music
that Loud broken Tune

vibrating and yearning,
Johnny's all Kneeling
at the Fire Music's 
Old Mountain Rune;

he jittered and Blew,
traumatised Beatific
by the Fire music,
this passionate Thing

who Ages your Youth
un-paralyzes your Time
this Fire music
and the way that she (w)rings

--

He spoke of Sonny Boy
in the Annals of Fire
after the Fire Music
had had Its Course;

I went home that Evening
with strong Impression
of the Fire Music
in some of its Force.
