Self Portrait - by Hannah Allcock
by et cetera

Inside my thoughts are flies of winter, Outside are eyes of the inner. Piano tunes in minor clog plugholes, used to cleanse the soul. Throwing up tastes, misplaced elements of time, a bile most acrid yet sublime. Stained versions replicate, fragments of a self innate. The molded eyeless features, between the bevelled glass a brutality of beauty, long surpassed. A collected nothingness: this is who I am.
Notes:
on the theme of the beautiful and the damned
