Yesterday I donated my old record collection: a combination of classical, popular, guitar, and children’s recordings.I listened to Marlo Thomas on the old turntable and waved “Goodbye”.
I can still say “Hello” again on the audio-tapes and cd’s, as well as call up the iTunes versions electronically. Enter: the Bose Players!
On all these devices, music is still the Path to Glory.
Illustrious radiance,
Magnificent splendor,
Resplendent delightful praise!
Majestic beauty,
Distinctive grandeur,
Exalted brilliant richness!
Divine rank,
Apotheosis,
Celestial supernal music.

Window
so slow
to show the light of day
the shadows glancing through.
Good Morning!
Window,
in haste
to taste the dark
the shadows flaming through.
Good Night!

Who is This Quicksilver? 1941-2012
Hot spur Lady,
harum-scarum,
gadarene
red-haired scream?
Impulse Child,
heaving waves,
impulsiveness
undressed?
Hurried Teen,
reckless, rash,
pell-mells through
whimsy’s spells?
Impetuous Grandma,
brash, brazen,
flashy bold
for one so old?
Truth be told: immediate!
A streak of light,
a quiver of silver:
This is our unique Quicksilver!

Who is This Quicksilver?
who creates
mercurial poem- paintings which
effervesce like rainbow bubbles
freshly blown?
Each pops,
and leaves its scent upon the nose – invisible-
yet haunting.
We lift the veil
and find the sweet essence
clinging to our skin.
We have been touched with the silver of her grace-
quickly
quickly turned to silver.

What I Have Learned So Far
Everything and everyone changes.
Adapt.
Everyone has talents.
Honor them.
I keep growing up, in and out…
“Til eternity.
The exercise of choice is human.
Share it.
Jeanne is her genes.
in technicolor.
No balancing required when I’m
on my bum.
Gravity is relative
and just another form of energy.
There is never objectivity between men and women.
They know each other too well.
What you pick up,
you will put down in one form or another.
A poem never ends
since it seeds in you and sprouts in spring.

Patchwork Quilt
Earth tones basque upon the wall,
A tapestry of roots and threads
In sepia and reds.
Queens farms turned into
Wooden three floor domiciles:
Vertical bird house styles.
We fly from basement
To Grandma’s loft
Where of’t the crullers soft
Fill our beaks
With warm and sugared dough
Shaped by caring hands to grow
Our lives, our squares
Of fabric, threaded by the silk
Of milk and tilt and silt: a quilt.

Musk
Musk must rise from my throat
To signal to my infant Grandson:
Grandma’s arms: your cradle.
Musk must sing-waft
Through the rink:
Swirling with my roller dance.
Musk must warm
The candle flame
That lights your skin aglow.
Chiaroscuro!

I offer you, my Queen,
All repititions from my life:
Wanderings, washings, wakings,
Willow strengths.
I offer you, my Queen,
All implants from my life:
Titanium, tenderness, tattoos,
Tweaked anatomy.
I offer you, my Queen,
Thesaurus, thyme, thrills,
Therapy, theology, technology:
Tactile tools.
