WILLIAM BAZIOTOS ART
(1934-1963)

Remembering
you too adored
ancient Greek art
and Baudelaire
sneaking a peak
at the paintings
you share
William Baziotos
with his lonely surrealism
up close
William Baziotos,
an abstract expressionist
after we make stops
colorful strife and jests
along the museum corridors
to view your "Cyclops"
later we are jamming
trying to stat awake
and studying "The Parachutists
in the sunlight dorm
reading of your "Still Life"
as we reach out to your
"Night Form"
by our windows
laughing without regret
eating our fill of jello
chocolate bars, cake
with pistachio halva
by your "Beach Shadows"
and at your "Yellow Net."
