She’s not like how she’s painted

A two-faced bitch’s a trifle rich

Still,

Her reputation’s tainted

Back 1

Memory of joy

 

Forever

 

Is strangely true

 

We squint to see it

 

In the mind’s eye

Blurred, muffled,

 

Gore-Tex blue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still Life with missing Chickens

back 2

Doodled oil: frame, drape, and garden.

Lavender green, anaemic blue, grey,

redbrick, bush green, tree green,

shocked gasping yellow bursts.

 

Yeats and Keats. The chickens!

Missed the Sussex white dabs.

In the coop, having a lie in.

weekend after all. Sun still life.

Cock-a-doodle-do. Get the picture?
