THE WRITE HEMISPHERE
for Trev

Urn ash and paint like gruel, hell-

cell, a little piece of sky, not much

light gets in here. She is my spirit

level-grey-matter.

                                                        

                              Robert Lowell said ‘imperfection

Is the language of art’. Grief was

In my heart the day that I painted

This, my evil dad broke her.


 

Thirty one years of marriage

And he had two daughter’s

and another wife who died

of cancer, Spearhead was my

nickname for him.

 

I knew something wasn’t right

We never spoke, eye contact.

You can be a bastard but

don't ever be a cunt.


 Can you paint the grief?

The hurt you cannot see.

This is oceans deep and wide.

An ex-brit who killed brits

 

And I am a brit who hated

To love him and vice versa.

The black ulsterated hills

Is in his heart, he abused

 

My brother/sister that was

On my mind, urn ashes

And paint, beauty is in

Truth and truth is beautiful.

 







 Mum-bled for me 

I mumbled her, just three

let-hers: Pat


Ashes to ashes

a painted life you will all

ways live in me
