A Brush with Words: Sea Change
Oil/Mixed media on board 23″ x 19″
Continuing in our look back at the art and poetry exhibition, ‘A Brush with Words’, here is ‘Sea Change’ by Miranda Mott which inspired the poem ‘Where the Dark Is Rising’ by Rita Carter and ‘Magic island’ by Trevor Innes
Where the Dark Is Rising
(for Sea Change)
Dynamo
ringed in the fish-eye
diver’s head
coal black
neophyte
Where the dark is rising
thought-fishes dart
a scion into a cloud burst
embryo tree
Rita Carter
Magic island
(for Sea Change)
A joining axis wheel,
china blue on white,
beneath the green tree
makes a path scross the sea
Where three fish swim
through a dark-eyed moon.
something holds this
all together, more
than a Norse dream. The tree
is placed in a cloud. The dark
sky recedes around.
Ferdinand is buried somewhere.
He’ll return to find love
and his father on an island where the tree
holds no monster but a wheel.
Happy endings can be found.
Trevor Innes
