The clear line dissects
A horizon drawing the view
Everything else
Left to others to construe
And here are old favourites
With anecdotal charm
The chance meeting in quiet rooms
Shapes of another time, another place
Of older artscapes we have
Wandered in
Lyme Bay & Exmouth
All along the coast
Each footstep piled
Like stepping-stones
These landscapes we fossil
For memory bones
A washing line of memories
Pinned up, black & white
Reminding me of another day
Stitching it all together
While we unpick meaning
Letting our lives fall
Moments windblown
Petals on a lawn
Old walls and footsteps
Gossip in these halls now
A slow travelling
And in the blink of an eye
Time & timelessness combine
I remember the first time I saw
Leonardo da Vinci’s cartoon
It was no laughing matter
An acme moment
With a view
The triptych
(plant in threes)
The densely wooded landscape
(Of your knees)
Here tenderness grows
Wrapped in human clothes
Rain obscures the Jekyll garden now
A pattern of drops on the windowpane
Echoing art
Art echoes
Again
