In Memory of Jackie.

The girl who brought a shine to every room
life and soul of forever parties
brave enough to be the first,
to say hello to the Rik Mayall,
a Young One then
smiling in appreciation
an ice breaker if ever there was one
happy enough to leap into the
unknown worlds of Barcelona
bursting at the seams with
vibrancy and culture,
shock it may have been
but for the shortest while
as friends and nightlife welcomed
with open arms
‘The Girl from Ipanima’ who sang
for fun
entertaining everyone
at The Piano Bar
those divine, exquisite
outfits fit for a princess
and the occasional prince.
A super shouldered black
fitted jacket worn forever
and a day
doesn’t go by
when I see her smiling face and
think, try to, of words
to capture her look
and artfullness
in the eighties
bright red lipstick and dark eyes
and huge hair
and huge hair
which became the
richest, darkest, staightest
and thickest in this world
she has left her greatest gifts
two lovely girls
who wouldn’t even know me
but I knew her
and she was some woman.

Gone but not Forgotten…xx
