REVERÓN
Pancho AND Pepé, his monkeys (not the accordeon man)
announce with bells the end of his painting session.
Juanita Mota, a female companion, rests her indian headdress after posing
and walks nude about the wall-less palm tree studio
bathed by the sound of ocean and breeze.
Armando Reverón steps back from the canvass nervously
going to it, at it, with determination-access of delight
sighting the poetry of its making
standing about it all almost naked.
"El Castillete", the small castle
harboring such reality
surrounded by walking swans and ducks
the loincloth rag dolls holding a quiet conversation then
now in a New York museum when trusted
-cheap models he had none-
He is brought booze and food
and aways under the arm go his paintings- a friendship
that brought him to notoriety;
his lack of interest for money and socialité.
Armando the man and artist
dwells upon sunlit clouds and Macúto beach and town
his wings over his country issuing pride
his intelligent gaze full of clarity and vision
blossoming truth and poetry in all of us
our own. Wisdom and Sunlight redeemed.
see his paintings here and rag dolls at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City.

white over white in white light, a genius
