Ocean worn timbers

braced for October storms and

surging tides of sand

In loft apartments,

a gift from former tenants;

perfect hexagons

Stinking death and rot,

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.

It must be Autumn,

there’s no need to step outside,

Google told me so.

Bamboozled

 

Searching for sunlight

running roots crack through asphalt;

irrepressible.

To be trapped is to

be filled with a fear so great

that all fight subsides.
