Hee’s a poem by Alexius [from Red Moon Anthology, 1997]:
:
late autumn–
the butterfly lands
on what’s left
[ from Red Moon Anthology, 1997]
Ellen is correct. The memorialized poet is Alexius Burgess.
I also suggest Bill.
Tom Noyes?
Might be Towpath’s founder–Alexius Burgess.
This is only a guess but the haiku might be a tribute to the lovely and much missed Bill Higginson.
his death notice. . .
the get-well card
still in my briefcase
