JANE FREILICHER'S REPUTATION
(1924-2014)

You crashed against
the careful landscapes

in an avalanche of paint
as a tenant of breathless

wall art
scents of a kindled hand

knowing your signature
will not remain suspended

in water shed reputations
along the Hudson

from a raining downpour
of hypnotic spellbound drawings,

in a lightness of a viaduct
of being connected.
