A BIRTHDAY POEM,
A VARIATION IN PROCESS
for
Duane Locke**
on turning 97
R. I. P.
Dec. 29, 1921 – Feb. 17, 2019
When first you approach your birthday,
you write of Lind Call,
a memory
vivid,
the recall clear,
filled with references
to artists, real and other,
rolling through experiences,
actual and fantasy
but fantastic all.
It seems that you have this continuing knack,
this unlimited ability to—
having established
one’s self as
a valid, knowledgeable,
insightful seer
of the varied
spatial and color arrays,
those spreading such
on canvas with
a certain aplomb
over ages—
register
with the suriety of
seagulls skimming
over winter turned
whitecaps
yet somehow
undampened
unhesitating
in near rhythm
with nature’s edges.
