In death we see time
and events that shape our past
in death we see life.

Absent father
He used to take us to Hamleys,
on the few occasions we’d see him,
and buy something small
like that plastic stuff
you blow balloons with
through a straw
and then we’d go on to a restaurant;
I always chose sausages and a coke
a rare treat indeed.
He didn’t really spoil us, in fact
it was probably the least he could have done
but we always looked forward to those days.
It must have driven our mum mad.
well now his absence is for good and I shall miss him
and his rather clumsy efforts at being a father.

Passing time
It’s fast approaching
and after all the waiting
time to say goodbye.

Waiting for a bus,
for the summer, for a death;
I’m always waiting.

Hunters
In the night
when all is pitch black
they will come
baring teeth
stealing the dreams from children
and wreaking havoc

Pavement flowers
I didn’t know you
though I feel the pain of death;
murder on the streets.

977. Moon Street (35)
This is what graffiti art is all about – a slightly dodgy alley with a derelict store room where the door has given way. Here RIP has found the perfect spot to spray one of his ‘Dia de muertos’ stencils. I know I sound like a scratched record, but half of the art of graffiti art is the placement of the piece.
I’m not too sure when RIP did this piece, but I think it might have been during Upfest, so it falls neatly into the category of a little gift left behind after the festival. More from RIP to follow soon.
895. The Bearpit (78)
So the most prolific Bristol street artist, Laic217, continues to spread his love all over the city. This one is at the bottom of the steps on the north west side of The Bearpit. The story here is not entirely clear, but the bug spray would appear to be killing the bugs inside the skeleton’s head.
Laic217 is really perfecting these skull characters, and telling loads of stories on the way. There are emergent themes in his work: skulls and death generally; insects; bucket hats and spray cans. Few of his pieces don’t have two or more of these things.
You won’t have to wait long for another Laic217 post – I have several waiting in the wings.

I cannot recall
A performance of yours that
I did not enjoy.
