NORTH
In this house there is a room,
a room of sky and leaves,
looking over fields and hills,
austere, cold, secret,
reached only by a thin, oak
ladder.
The room is filled with books;
a sleeping trumpet, amber dubbin,
scraps of pottery, elephants and
foreign masks,
shards of glass and silica, a
sheep’s skull
jostle with stark sketches of
gaunt trees -
and an odd incongruous nativity
on wood, tiny,
hanging from the elm beam of a
stable -
the child now star-led to the
north.

LITTLE ROOM
Well you're in your little room
and you're working on something good
but if it's really good
you're gonna need a bigger room
and you're working on something good
but if it's really good
you're gonna need a bigger room
(Eric Patrick Clapton / Will Jennings - from White Blood Cells by The White Stripes 2001)

'A room of sky and leaves' is my bigger room
still with sky, leaves, fields, hills, pottery, skulls and gaunt trees.
All pots/photos are mine.
