Relief Prints
Petite Mort
Two Colour Linocut 290 x 305mm A/P
The hearts cage bursts
Between being and truth
In shadow, light, shadow.
Flickering. Tidal. Liquid.
Sounding darkness.
Blood and lies draw down
A velvet envelope of sky
Showering fireworks of synapses,
Primeval and timeless,
Closed to mortality.
Transcending or imprisoned,
Twin imaginations grapple,
Like muscled beasts,
Pleasure, but, in final resolution,
Solitary, like death.
John Charles William Morris
