The Tantalisation of John Bruce
Of John Bruce, the poet, and Grayson Perry's exhibition, 'The Vanity of Small Differences'...
Outside looking in
From John’s pocket moths appear
As violins weep
Beggars from the pavement see
Art through a glass darkly
Grayson’s woven tales
Of social mobility
Inaccessible
Myths of the tapestries lost
To legend and irony
Illicit colours
Seep through windows to the street
Teasing, beautiful
Sweet tale of the poet’s life
John Bruce; tantalised by light
