Months Mine Johnny Montague!
The month of respect has passed for the Late Great Johnny Montague!
..like a Patroclus stripped of his words he is accorded the full 30 days due to a hero.
He was what you see is what you get, meeting down the years he was so normal, irreverent... it was so refreshing when now in these times of poets wearing out their own mirrors.
He has now traversed the river to converse with Hades & Rhadamanthus and no doubt we will hear from him again in another guise...
..months mine = phonetic (Tyrone)
