Thank you for celebrating @adamlitovitz at his book launch, The Lined Yellow Paper Drawings. Adam was a beautiful and spontaneous artist and brilliant writer. We sat in a circle and took turns reading passages of his writing. His wordplay and wisdom filled the room and our hearts. Here is one of his poems: Saying goodbye to opinions, hello to feelings Saying goodbye to opinions, hello to feelings, Goodbye to feelings, hello to grievings, Hello to greetings, goodbye to meetings, Farewell to teethings, hello to teethings, Goodbye to pleasing, hello to pleasing, Hell of a sweet thing, hell of a sweet thing, Heavenly beating, devilish seething, Desiring, needing, Goodbye to needing, wanting, and waiting, Hello to making, hello to great things, Goodbye to awful, eyeful, unthoughtful, Hello to thinking, and thinking without thinking, Just being, and being, and letting being be, Grieving be, even needing be, Leaving needing there, nowhere there, never bare, always scared, making fine, fine oh fine, I'll do the time, draw the line, make it mine, Mine of mine but theirs always theirs, always ours, beneath the bows, here we are, all these scars, closing up, open wounds, open up, closing wounds, will you be asking me, asking me, asking, is this so, is this necessarily so, and I don't know, no idea no, but i move to the place, that place, the place, and i make my space, my fine space, i take my place and i sit down and i don't move and i let it swirl and it dawns on me.
