Figure in Movement, by Jacqui Rozdoba

Figure in Movement, by Francis Bacon (Britain) 1985

Figure in Movement

Emerging?
or disappearing?
Both
and so little time
between 

Hours defined
by grey
human frame

A door?
or scaffold?
Both
and so little space 
between

A grotesque
constrained
at the point
of decision,
Canvas bound
and bound
away from darkness

Transfixed
I lose balance
my mouth
lurches open
and your
raw howl
erupts
from my
belly

Jacqui Rozdoba: "I studied fine art and English and have worked in various jobs to support a family. During this time, I wrote and stuffed poems at the back of drawers. I am currently renovating a house on the south coast of England  and spending more time writing, only lately venturing out from under an imposter’s cloak to share work and exchange ideas with other writers."
