Poem


Art Speaks
 

Amongst the chatter, the tea and scones,
lies a laden message; not for the feint hearted.
 

Cameras flash, people share their views.
In an intimate space, a crowd gathers.
 

Here are snapshots of a complex condition,
images of its intrusion stark to the unprepared.
 

It is only in the shuffling gait, the stony face,
the awkward cup holding can one hazard

 
a guess what lies beneath, what has
 brought them together in this space.
