Recently I received an email from a great friend of mine in London, Sue Verney. Sue is a musician who plays violin, a poet and short story writer. I felt honoured to receive Sue's poem about one of my racetrack paintings, and I'm just as thrilled to share it with you.
RACECOURSE
After
the silent gas cloud came
the
empty racecourse looked the same.
But
if not galloped upon or mown
how
soon will it be overgrown?
Or
without refreshment slake to dust
with
shades of bone and sunburnt rust.
