Poem - From Light at Bristol Arts Centre July 8th- 31st 1967 This poem appeared in a catalogue for an exhibition of art by patients Kevin worked with whilst doing art therapy work in the 60's.
My world gone black and crumbling wasting slow and nothing done
Across the gorge a sheeny horse leaps
A mark of respect. The dull medal bronze on my breast pinned
A time for celebration in the holy city
Whenever I look at it so far down the grass shining below like bronze
Trumpets the size of tubas Gay hats and singing Painted banners flicking in the breeze Laughing masks and laughing and I speak then I speak HOW I SPEAK
Words just fly from my mouth
All my magic flows out.
