LABOUR OF LOVE

LABOUR OF LOVE

we are
so unlike

she creates landscapes
has always had
her head
screwed
on tight

sees
the picture
implements
the dream

no place, space
for irony, ambiguity
sudden shift
back and forth

between
high and low
East
    and West
North and
South
inside, outside
nightmare and dream

this very enterprise
premised on
shift and change,
subtlest suggestion
fluctuation

ah, yes
      there we are, out
of nowhere had to
just
   stumble upon it

world’s apart these practices,
so entirely alien
to each other

labours of love
for us both
