To become a painter

Angel du Nord

All over the papers

All over the skyline

The Blind Light of confusion

Drips from my brow


That these words

Are the headline story

Is your transient momentous reward


Nine years

Six alone in preparation

Watching the light

Through the seasons

Watching

Cows crossing the Lys


That these words

Caught the tearful story

Is your lasting posthumous reward
