Colin Lowe, We got to him before they could, 122 x 46 x 46cm,

Lose that stale dignity
If you come this way, remember the rules:

1. No talking.

2. You go alone.

3. You stay alone.

4. Problems will arise between you and the rest of the world, which you will never resolve.

5. Lunacy scratches his arse and waits for you.

In return you may dance on water,
destroy ancient fears
and kiss the supernatural.
You will encounter
tragedy,paralysis,
the angry, barking dogs of Kingdom Come.
You will feel too often,
and too much
and this sensitivity
will become your
shield with
which you will
calcify
and
live behind.
You might discover new legends behind the couch,
encounter divine angels, drinking wine on a winter beach,
you will definitely cleave off huge chunks of your mind,
but if you’re brave
you can easily
drop-kick them
into the nearest duck pond
and move on,
laughing
till snot dribbles out of your nose.
You will drive stakes through your eyeballs
and lose many loves,
a catalogue of pain and hurt.
You will burn bridges
and contemplate throwing
yourself off them,
many times.
Did I mention psychosis waits,
yawning,
with
one
black,
dry,
unblinking
eye.
