#1943 - a frame of still

 


1943

6.117

27.iv.25

a frame of still

ekphrastic for Sidney Nolan’s 1953 ‘Drought’

 

a colour like the dust

 

the eye

and where it was

skin contracted, seeing still

 

hide ribbed

 

the hoof

the horns

the tail

point out

 

the whole effect, a clock to stop us

a sprawl to not yet soil

 

and all of this is an accusation

a colour like the sun
