Fire & Ice at Graziano’s

Pernell ‘Sweet Pea’ Whitaker (1964 —2019)

Fire & Ice at Graziano’s

He tumbles from the deep
gurgle of an idling chariot,
slinks away into the balmy

blue of night with a shimmy;
all shuffle and spin as he
turns on a dime, pops the

air & slides on over—
like it’s show time in Vegas
under the din of light.

Tonight he will drink alone;
torpid dreams of shadow dancing
over a blood speckled canvas.
