If you’ll imagine a space of
4 x 1.8 meters as a room
With half of that as working
Space
You’ll wonder if this area
Is at all usable for a bard
To write
For an artist to render his
Drawings.
Yet it works as an artist’s
Domain –
Its use as a kitchenette
Transformed into a workshop
But not entirely.
The poet’s spouse still enters
At different times for brewing
Coffee or tea
Contributing to the raise of
The poet’s pent-up temper.
It’s absolutely useless to discipline
The bard with abuse of her rights
Of usage.
But then as the artist wakes even
Stronger in the shell of the man
He’ll produces artistic illustrations
Fr his new book
Born out of difficulties
Irritations and needling.
Through years of living in a small
Bedsitter-unit
All stumbling blocks to pursue
His art
Have been successfully transferred
To paper camera and canvas.
