A poetic reading of David Milar's photographs by Lloyd Godman

 

David Miller

Stone deafness holds fast

Stone deafness holds fast the bright blossom of paint
concrete is unforgiving in a soulless town
destitute flowers fight back from corners unseen
take root on lost elapsed walls
dampness trickles downward without even a drip

Artefacts cast by another derelict soul
speak in a whisper against the texture of age
of a nomadic crawl to exist
through the mysterious dingy corridor

 
for the explorer
resonance remains
an explanation to the underbelly
the dark sphere of desperation
the veil of necessity
