At its highest point

the sea deposits its gifts

Dusk comes early now

and bats flutter, fattening

In loft apartments,

43. Dean Lane (2)

I pretty much walked past this small poster, but stopped in my tracks and took a closer look.

This is a really interesting wheatpaste by an artist called ’23 Magpies’. I think the artist is based in Gloucester, given that most of the works I can find are from there. My guess is that this was posted up during Upfest 2015, as it is only a short walk away from North Street. I have not been able to find out much about the artist, but some other works are shown here.

Legacy

 

In a hundred years

will we be thought of as the

thieves of their future?

Borrowed time

 

Summer’s last hurrah

new leaves unfurl, unprepared

for September’s chill.
