"Jupiter's Dream"
How could Dante's Inferno be a comedy,
How could the brush of Botticelli paint the birth of a goddess,
How did cadmium and eggs mix on a canvas,
Why are Agrippa and Medici remembered? |

"Birth of a Cocoon"
The thin mantel adhert to her skin,
dew still napping over leaves of grass,
the hands of the Indian potter
giving life by the gray boulders of the forest. |

"Song and Boat"
It was in Havana
where he found Berlin,
the sea wave saluting the city,
the soul of Africa engulfing Bach,
the long hair of an old beauty accompanying a love song. |

"Unfolding Colors"
The last dinner was not the last,
was not the first,
was not what it was meant to be,
was his idea of an idea,
bread, wine and human passion. |

"Play with Graffiti"
The silent piano knew it all:
the allegretti graziosi,
the andantini con espressione,
the minuetti, the cantabili,
the hands that played it,
the hands that applauded the playing. |
