Dis-Ease


Very pleased that the exhibition of Dis-Ease is part of the Belfast Book Festival. The result of my collaboration with photographic artist Victoria J Dean, the exhibition consists of a series of images combined with poems or extracts from poems. It opens on Monday 8th June at 7.45 - everyone welcome.
 
 
 
Absorbed

 

I’d take you back into myself,

every cell, each chromosome.

 

I’d have you back, before birth,

before conception, all

 

your future still ahead. I’d hold

you as an imagined thing, safe.
