Painting on a Wall

He comes close in

peering

puzzled

disappointed


Steps back

glances at me as he leaves


I want to shout at him

‘Don’t look at me, be with me

And you will see.’


He’s back

A relaxed look in his eyes

Begins to move as if dancing

Is dancing

Blows me a kiss as he leaves

I blush

He’s seen me

And I’ve seen him.


(Derek Jarman Exhibition John Hansard Gallery Southampton Feb 2022.)
