today is the artist's birthday. & I remember 2 things.
first is this early poem of mine (1964):
I pause
near the end of
my coffee break
to contemplate
Amadeo Modigliani's
eyesight: how sublime
to see swans
with human heads.
of course I was in my 20s & who in their 20s doesn't love Modigliani. that passion coold. but then a few years ago I was at the art musuem in San Diego & absolutely fell in love with his "Blue Eyed Blue" (1916).
