Colin McCahon Poem


I forgot to post this on Friday last week ... just a two-minute, jotted-down poem after my visit to the art gallery.

Colin McCahon

The simple, violent act
Of slicing a white line through black

Of writing God's words
In laborious paint

A simple thing.

And then

From the black well of glass
Someone stares back.
