A Brush with Words: Brief Parting
By Eric Seeley, ‘Brief Parting’ oil painting
Continuing in our look back at the art and poetry exhibition,
A Brush with Words, here is Brief Parting, by Eric Seeley and Tricia Torrington.
In Praise of Blue
(For a Brief Parting)
Because there was a blue heat
Sweating our bodies to slow burn
Because there was a pure moon
Edging the sun to a swift end
Because there was a wide bay
gritting its teeth to our soft skin
Shadows enveloped us
So that we hid ourselves
Now the hills will neve be too high again
And loose limbed beaches never
So stretched, tanned, warm again,
We had seven blue days
because it was a week where we lost time
I will always lose time remembering…
Tricia Torrington
