2 landscape (from exhibition)
oil on canvas
a ploughed field an old man’s hands
rutted and veined tendons and tendrils
the turned earth turning the wind pulling at the rain
browns against greys thick in the air a
figure canted over
stick-like bent bending into against a sky under the weight of the horizon
striated cloud a promised sun lost the touch strokes of rinsed etiolated ochre
nicotine-stained
fingers a claw holding on the nails
digging in
