“Breaking the Ground”

Created with acrylic paint, natural pigments and sand

100x50cm canvas / €695

The earth floats stones to the surface in spring

to gawk at the moon and the stars and the sun

like skulls that are strewn in the Valley of Bones,

the sockets whistling with songs of the wind

that drift like the dreams of long-dead men

who still, in the cadences of silence, sing,

‘these, my bones, will rise again.’ 

(Tom Furlong)
