652 Roy Orbison (1936-1988) “In Dreams” 1963

“They were micro-operas, and he
was as lifeless a tenor as could be
propped on a stage, so hidden in black
he seemed the emissary of oblivion, 
except that there was nothing 
he was capable of forgetting, no hurt” (David Rigsbee, “Roy Orbison, New Orleans, 1984,” Great River Review, 2012).
