MySelf in My Home Garden
MySelf in My Home Garden

Taken on conventional film 1995. Phototherapy after close death of wife mum and dad. inspired by the late JO SPENCE.. Part of permanent collection LIFELINES at County Offices, Matlock, with poetry.

Not a victim / No Blame/ Just was
Empowerment: = Freedom

poem 1999

SILENCE

In here we suffer
In silence.
Seething undertows,
Individuals

Flung together.

Movements of the eyelid
Seen as provocation.
You learn quickly
to side-step, to avoid
conflict.

At all costs-
to survive.

Downstairs in ward 36
you learn,
It took six staff,
seven policemen with batons,
(and four injections)
to submit the angry young man

Into a dreamless sleep.
Outcast to the street,
He swallowed 12 razor blades
just in order to
get back in.

We don't want to be here
Neither do we want to be
Out there.

In here
We suffer
In silence.








A black eyed dog he called at my door
The black eyed dog he called for more
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog
A black eyed dog.

I'm growing old and I wanna go home
I'm growiing old and I don't wanna know
I'm growing old and I wanna go home.

A black eyed dog he called at my door
A black eyed dog he called for more.

Lyrics: Nick Drake

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like Im dyin.
