SING WHITNEY
Winged words of milk chocolate melody
Her gift of soul of ruby song rang
Inside me like charismatic cherry cobbler-a blackberry bell
That pure poetic power
Never will another fuchsia flower
Envelope our hearts with Whitney's divine uniqueness
You are healed, perfected diva, by The Potter Who made you

In Memoriam of Whitney Adeniran
I only have a photograph left.
A preserved moment in time
To serve as a reminder of how things were
When you and I were present.
In Paradise, I can see your bright eyes.
Every day when I awaken.
I converse and embrace your photographs.
I'm not sure how much.
I mourn you being here.
My spirit is always heavy, never stops.
I

Visited the Whitney
Visited the Whitney*
For the Hoppers – what a treat!
A gathering of works with which
Few artists can compete.
Yet in a separate little room
A different treasure lay –
A film of “Calder’s Circus”
With its figures on display.
For Alexander Calder,
He of mostly-mobiles fame,
Put together, out of wire,
And deserving of acclaim
Every animal and acrobat
That we’d expect to see
At a

To Eric Whitney 1
***
What lies in this?
Are my ears betraying me? My eyes?
Is time betraying me that I have lived?
Crazy creation,
So noble while not young in vain,
At times, shouts the right words
In an ecumenical uproar.
For whom? For the self?
I would like to make the cut where you are,
Look into the insane eyes,
Not move a bit

Euthanised all.
Whole.
Paralysed .
Things that don’t concern you,
I will throw.
It’s you
I want to afford .
Wish clever nape
To my fingers to grant .

Call the Lord

Holds my hand, won't let me go.

Get Thee To the Whitney
Get thee to the Whitney!
It’s the one thing you should do
If you’re in New York, to see
The kitchen made by Liza Lou.
It’s a life-sized recreation
Of a room each person needs,
But the fridge and stove and table
Have been topped with shiny beads.
Every detail’s been considered
In constructing what you’d find
In an average household’s kitchen
And amazingly designed.
There’s the

Passing Through Town
Is there any place as lonely
As a Lake Huron resort town
In the off-season of mid-November?
Sign outside the church reads THANK YOU!
Its steeple a record player needle
Set to the warped sky
Barry Manilow ballads
Hobbling from an A.M. station that’s all but given up
It’s just me and a delivery truck
On Route 23
Toddling along as a pair between Oscoda and

Whitney Houston
She was a songbird like no other
Her light, her fire, drugs did smother
The impact addiction had on her, tragic
But whenever I hear her on the radio, magic

Beautiful Sunrise - the Whitney Style
~Beautiful Sunrise~
( Whitney Double )
Sunrise shines
Appears again
Spreads around
Cover mountains
Sea, above
Clouds softly pass
A band of seagulls fly high
The air's cool
And the sun's warm
Delightful
Wonderful spring
Warms my heart
Songbirds sings
His love shines upon my face.

wonder this to disappear.
