What are you reading Stephen

Le silence d’Egon

Is it about the artist

Yes

What is written on your wall

Wow what a Gymnast

Did you write that

No

Then who

I have no idea

It was there when I moved in

Is it true that he was arrested

Yes

Why

History is not clear

Is it true that he painted

Both his wife as her sister

Quite naked

Yes the works still exist

If you were an artist

Would you paint me from life

Yes

But I am a poet

So I can only honour you with my words


Stephen Masefield (1954 -1973)
