There is a photograph
Somewhere in existence
I am the principle subject
Sat quietly, at a kitchen table
It is a small cottage
The afternoon sun filters
Through the high level windows
Past a pair of cockatiel's
The painter’s palettes
Are in a black fold away tin
The water colour painting
Is on a hardboard sheet
My black stonewashed sweatshirt
Is a gift; made in Australia
So the shark logo on the sleeve
Would have you believe
Thin auburn air, and a steady
Stance suggests a gentleness
An innocence that the photographer
Captures with simplistic empathy
All else is lost in my minds articles
Although I do think of orange flowers
I also have an idea of a feint wash
That created a turquoise background
I tell you this in response to another
Image; from elsewhere in my existence
Where birds are freed from their cage
In search of those self same freedoms
