IMPROVISATION#241
AVIGDOR ARIKHA'S HOUR
(1929-2010)

Surviving fascism
in Romania
you serve
with the gall of genius
from your innovative paintings
of pure abstraction
even in the thrall
not complaining
from your war wounds 
living with pure nerve
to give to us\
your breathless portraits
of Queen Elizabeth
and attractive
Catherine Deneuve
with the keen satisfaction
from your artistic call.
