for Jackson Pollock

 

Pollock-Krasner House, East Hampton 

 

Now at last

I see you

Jackson Pollock

kneeling on the floor

handling sticks and brushes

dripping paints on your canvas.

 

 

From the dark night of your mind

a different universe emerges

 

new galaxies

(long looping lines)

take form

 

 as your hands move rapidly around

 

formless and timeless realms

where I sink deep and deeper

wrapped in the colours

of your Greyed Rainbow.

 

For a while I will linger and listen to

the silence of the ocean

 

(or maybe to the roaring motor of your Oldsmobile convertible)

 

 

then – tonight –

I will write a poem just for you

Jackson Pollock.
