“Bohemia” by Jessica McCallum
Some artwork inspires more than one poem; I’ve already shared the poem published with this painting at my daughter Jessica McCallum‘s exhibition in 2011, but thought you might like to read another one of a few:
BOHEMIA
This is not a painted tapestry
display of exotic influences…
Every prick was welcomed!
Each permanent plunge
through tender tattooed skin
as hearts and flowers fruit and scab,
every coloured defiant stab of free
expression – indelible statements
individually signalling two fingers
smoking satisfaction swirling, up.
