CHILDREN OF COMPOST
Oil and Acrylic on Canvas, 2021
Transformation is hardcore -
seeping mass of cells carefully
salvaged; when you stop pleading
for a saviour, scavengers might
teach you how to lovingly bring
yourself out of being, how to savour a
change of state, change of flavour:
it’s hard to stay dead
and delicious for very long.
TRANSSUBSTATIATION
Oil on Canvas, 2020
The two extremes of love
Are either to be eaten
Or kept wild
Let me be my truest size
Your sacrifical deer
Your flaming lion
Your flanks, your teeth,
My insides turned
outside.
