Tiles and Slabs

A country artist making tiles

Whilst on a grave slab sleeps a son

Wet clay dug from the earth

Wet stones covering the ground

Earth that buried another woman died, dead and gone

Left a torn lonely boy trying to reconfirm

Trying to reconnect

Trying to know himself and to contact the country

Trying to know himself and to contact the country

Whilst the artist celebrates

Connects and confirms

Contacts the country

Knows herself

Tiles and slabs

Woman and son

Take away

Take a gun

Blow away the blow-in

The blow-in

Kill the mother, kill the child in yourself

Kill the pain

Kill the father and the son and the holy ghost

Kill the pain

Violence from an inner rage buried in the country

Violence from an inner rage buried in the country
