Chrysanthemum (September)

The clouds will be a daisy chain. I read in the cloud today that when Brian died of barbiturate overdose his four lysergic lads did not attend the funeral, minimising media attention and out of respect for the family. Baby, you’re a rich man too. George bought a big bloom on behalf of the four of them. We love you, Mister Moonlight. But flowers are not permitted at Jewish funerals. Wrapped in newspaper it was thrown into his grave and quickly covered in dirt, a single chrysanthemum. They did attend a memorial in Liverpool in the month following September 1967.
