Notes About The Poem

Reacclimating

reacclimating after the climatic gavel falls
after sunrise and sunset and flamingoes
   after wood, Rembrandts and aluminum
after prodigy, prodigal and guitar strings
      and chatter. after all what matters
is chroma-splash, illumination and surrender
  a soundless cacophony of instruments
          and muses deliciously dancing
dripping from a litany of brushes

Y                    O                    R
 e                      r                     e
   l                       a                     d
     l                       n                     s
      o                       g
        w                      e

                   sea blues, teals, whales

swoosh…swoosh

   the presence of fame

        God is a fave…

time’s talent from only one of his fingers

   i  figure, in heaven’s palette -

won’t we forever be astonished

This is a fave for me, she appeals to my soul, my heart, and my appreciation for not only the words, but the way they are typed.
