My poem based on this piece exhibited at Black Swan Arts by Fi Underhill about the death of a child entitled "So Begins the Braiding".
So Begins the Braiding

From its beginnings near Withyam Friary, 
the muddy river Frome slowly
winds its way towards the sea. 
Mixing and churning the field run off,
the river bed receives the clay deposits. 

We are all ephemeral beings without
guarantee how long our life will be.
Three score years and ten is not a promise.
Our bags must be packed, 
ready to leave at any moment. 
An illness. A bug bite. A fall. 

So begins the braiding. 
Gathered from the river, 
the clay is pressed and turned.
The formless coiled into shape,
a spiral, symbol of life. 
Now cracked. 
A mother's lament displayed. 


Poem: Mike Grenville

Artist: Fi Underhill

We don't need to "protect our borders" Our biggest threat doesn't need to cross a border to harm us. From a yacht, billionaires can move markets, pressure govs, dodge taxes & bankroll politicians to rewrite our laws. The threat isn't the "outsider" It's the concentrated power already inside.

THREAD. I love old Habitat catalogues & managed to get hold of all the 70s ones before they got v pricey & collectable. Flicking through them, I wondered: "What are the true stories of the lives of the people in these photos?" So I decided to write those stories. You'll find them in the alt text.
Serendipity Range (1971)
11.39am. Carol’s head felt like a fire in a neglected pedal bin. The vodka had been a mistake, the downers a larger one. There would be no chance of making it to her aunt’s luncheon now and all hope of a reconciliation would be gone. She picked up the novel she’d found by the bed, but it was no use: she couldn’t consume words in this state, much less those of wittering self-obsessed suburbanites. The smell of basic supermarket jam from the other side of the room caused her insides to churn. Which c*** had left it there? Another hour of meaningless, wasted life, never to be regained, trickled away from her. “This is not my house,” she finally realised.
