#1214 - frontality

frontality

ekphrastic for Sidney Nolan’s (1962) ‘Escaped Convict’

 

‘when I am far away and all my bones is moulded away

… I value death nothing … I have not closed an eye since’

 

 

he is like a lost tiger

already parts missing

 

he is the blur of a man

betrayed

 

how many fingers am I holding up?

 

this is a face for another world

 

he is dressed for mud

 

love lost

but not to death

 

set circumstances

a blur to be off

 

wears stripes

for a way out of the world

 

he is becoming the place

he could be anyone
