Woman Without a Plant

June 10th, 2010 by Alan | No Comments | Filed in Clues, Poems In the Key of Life

Okay, Richard
The plant is still in my mind
Placed there by the
Subtraction of the palm
Maybe because
She’s surrounded by
Lush life
But has no friend
(for the moment)

That’s the beauty of
painting: One moment later
the light can change.

In fact it must.

I choose to believe
the blue splotches
the brown stigmata
will fade and
she will wander into
A world of warmth
And Bonazi when we
Meet the woman in profile
in full view

Inspired by several paintings that I saw displayed in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art while the 75th Anniversary exhibit was on display, June, 2010.

If an Erased deKoonig is Art

June 10th, 2010 by Alan | No Comments | Filed in Clues, Poems In the Key of Life

Then so is poetry
Layered on top

(of Felix Gonzalex-Torres)

One could consider it
A different form of
gold beads.

Music and Art Flow Through My Soul

The eye of my mind is always watching
My hands moving, even when still
Playing the keyboard of life
Developing harmonies
Even while I am in a business meeting

Business, properly approached, is art
Corporate gray
Placed over passionate purple
Stimulated by the golden sounds of music

My soul needs it all:
An intimate violin piece
Jazz on a piano and
Yes
Blowing my own horn.
