| Priscilla Watkins - Painting from the 'Brockwell Lido' series |
Another of my many #artinspired
poems. This one came to me after a painting by Priscilla Watkins (from her ‘Brockwell Lido’ series) evoked a memory of seeing a friend of mine swimming underwater in the pool
of a hotel in Cairo, way back in the summer of 1992. This remarkable painting looks
almost like a real photo. I feel like I have so many photograph-like moments such as
this one preserved in my mind. Memories which can transport us back in time in
an instant.
Watching her sleek form
slip gracefully by
beneath shimmering waters.
