Golems and Failed Triumph

When Richard phoned
the gale winds outside
were making my Japanese maple dance.

His sweet voice
buzzed happy.

So. Tribeca experts examined
his heart's art. A rich
validation. Paradise.

"They liked my work," he said.
Called him a draftsman.
(Now singing "Draftsman"
instead of "Jazzman" to Carole King's song.)

"I am so proud of you," I said.

Proud of your fearless vision
Anguish
Tears
Fullness
Your dreams.
Those precious hands.

my light
my son.

Draftsman instead of Jazzman

Richard's Hands
