Gulley Jimson and I used to be best friends, even though he is made-up. Wayward human and color appreciator,he is a main character in Joyce Cary's novel trilogy,one of my favorites. Irish Joyce Cary studied to be a painter, served in the British military and civil service in West Africa (where I grew up). William Blake, intoxicating painting, a complete devotion to color and the creative passion, and a disregard for pennies and those without appetites - how could I not acknowledge these roots?

Take a Poet's Pause and Breath(e)
Take a poet's pause and breath.
Look up at celestial heavens as day breaks "our back yard this summer".
From our friend, Ellen Van Horn, in Virginia. One in "Long Island Bahamas," the other is the daybreak. Their own Sistine Chapel.
Take a poet's pause and breath.
