Premium MemberSING 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 .

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

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

Premium MemberBeautiful 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.

half a heart,
my belongings
in this cracked
old leather case.
through greener
path on earth I
wonder this to disappear.
