Collaborative poem/ drawing by myself and Roman Scott, 8 February 1988.
The poem reads (italics are my portions):
The grey flame of Rasputin
& mountain tops flooded with the fingerpointing of elderly ladies
& rising segments of cheeks,
in sand for the winter
sand out of which bubbled orderly egg-carton shapes
A dell in Utah
under a scandinavic sun
I bend down, and find that the ground is hollow beneath, caked rocks held by tree-roots
a dead hulk of a black whale tree buried in sand
The crab, a withered hand, becomes a club
Bavarian wrinkles
kindly face
Red hair & blue eyes they have
