JULES OLITSKI'S TIME
(1922-2007)

The canvas spaces move me
upon portions on edge
today as if floating
on air by the sun
from brightly colored dyes
out of Jules' wise spray gun
causing geometric distortions
from his abstracts knowledge
in an escape of print
of a color field landscaper
squinting from a sculptor
scraping out of stone
this eccentric print maker
in evocative landmark power
as Jules Olitski faultless art
captures representative images
of cauterized flowers
with his pigment's luminosity
in a water basalt acrylic part
for our cultural hours.
