For Tamar


Life is art
Art is freedom
Freedom is a flower
That has no reason
Reason is a stone
A stone is a bird
A bird is a notion
Put into words
A word is a spider
A spider is a blessing
A blessing is a costume
Sewn out of guessing
A guess is a candle
A candle is a boat
A boat is a god
Worn like a coat
A coat is a clock
A clock is a game
A game is a house
Built out of names
A name is a wound
A wound is a dance
A dance is a siren
Set off by chance
Chance is an ocean
An ocean is a war
A war is a woman
Opening a drawer
A drawer is silence
Silence is a star
A star is a poem
Composed for Tamar.

Greetings - I fell upon your blog and discovered that your uncle is Stanley Soloman who I met while attending FIT in the late 1960's. He may remember me and my friend Valerie (both of us from Montreal). If he would like to be in touch, please pass on my email address. We would both enjoy hearing from him.

many thanks
