Description
“Miguel Upon the Sand Dunes of 2019” was created as a visual extension of the poem “Miguel Upon the Sand Dunes of Ecstasy and Hell (Passion for the Shaman in 1994: That Love Should Have Its Way) first published in the book I Made My Boy Out of Poetry. I describe it as a visual extension because it was not created so much to illustrate the original poem, which is currently slated for inclusion in INCANDESCENT WONDER, as it was to create a different but complimentary artistic expression the poem’s basic concept.
Some might find the language of the entire poem too raw for this space so here below is one stanza:
“…You are golden and rose like a beautiful ballet.
You are cold, demonic and hungry.
A storm gray and furious and white
is what your soul looks like
zooming in and out of your pitiful heart.
Look at her praying for you Miguel
and bleeding for you, loving God for you and
swallowing the whole history of His pain for you…”
--(from I MADE MY BOY OUT OF POETRY)
This images moves me deeply because it presented itself in a way I could not resist before I understood its purpose.

Aberjhani, I only now caught up with this 'event' and am overcome. It is a glorious ode to your self, your passion, your Boy. I,too,am so inclined re my own 'passion', but you have masterfully accomplished the knowing, visually,poetically and I'm honoured to experience thru you,what I wish I'd dare say. Thank you, Aberjhani.... for who you are......f.v....VIVA
