Trick of the Eye
Helen Pizzey
Tribute to Purbeck ar st, James Fry 1911-1985
I’m an illusion of light,
dappled dot of pigment
running with a southerly breeze,
merging into heather
and fading into sand;
invisible in me
and space
were it not for the
eye of the ar st
who paints me
naked and with wings,
seeing me as a livid dash
of eye-catching water,
skin the colour of wind,
body outstretched and brushed
across a canvas of sable sky.
