DEAD BROTHER BLUES
(’93) Wrote this from notes I took
during my brother Rafael’s funeral
back in ’85.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Hollywood Jungle,
scene 85, last take,
no stand-in,
no plot twist,
no happy ending –
fade out to the
Otro Mundo…
-The black preacher preaches,
the guitar player sings…
-Words of comfort
from celluloid faces…
-To the final location –
a caravan of family,
friends & admirers…
-Rafael Campos,
actor’s actor,
good father, good brother
a creative force
to the end.
