© Francis Bacon, Triptych 1974-1977
(Triptych 1974--1977 is the last in the great series that Bacon painted in response to the tragic death of his lover George Dyer in 1971)
when my fathers wife is trying to kill herself
he tells me that she is
being very
very
sill
when he trys to kill himself
he tells me he is
being
simple
straight forward
and
honest
neither is dead yet

Caput IX (Hirst)
Damien Hirst, 16 years, with a severed head [Tate Britain]
Art is here
to make us more like humans
more like
ants
and dogs
more like the rain
more like grit
and durt
more like cherry blossoms
if it dosnt do that
it is a failure
