Immagine & Poesia
(Image & Poetry)
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.
