STARMAN

Kevin Michael Bloor

The idol, tasting twilight tears
was god, throughout my teenage years!
Aladdin Sane of song and style,
a Laughing Gnome with flashing smile.

A Rebel sent to Earth from stars
was Ziggy Stardust, Man from Mars,
till twilight came along to call
and Mother Grey did slip and fall.

And Genie, clad in Laser Jeans,
with China Girls and Bitchy Queens,
all ground to dust, with Diamond Dog,
forever froze in frost and fog.

Farewell to you sweet Suffragette.
The City sleeps, but won’t forget
the STARMAN with that shock of hair,
with voice sublime, in Rock, so rare!
