R.B. KITAJ'S "POET WRITING"

Great energy on double portraits
of American poets Creeley and Duncan
drawn by the expatriate Kitaj
of his two friends visiting R.B.
in 1977 London
now covered in brush works
of shadow clouds of exiled genius
escaping and dedicating their art
to us who know the connection
between the avant garde,
enriching us in painting and verse
from a still life's
mirage and collage
