An Artist's visit
For Sara Jama's contest "Emotional Shrapnel"
05/10/2025
she appears spontaneously
courtesy asunder
an uninvited visitor
behind her a seeping of rust at the gates
an artist with barren hands
splashing scarlet all over the hessian
a lurid migration, primordial as fossils,
sketched by Selene’s soft summoning
into the earth’s belly,
with feeble niggles,
surging to tremor crescendos
abrading,
grinding,
scraping
in the moulded wisdom of the womb
where a design is deferred
a cradle lies still….
