Sebastian

12x12 inches; Watercolour and Pen drawing on executive bond paper (Click on image to enlarge)
SOLD. In private collection

Sliced by the hands of fate

Criss-crossing lanes

On the palm

Of your hand

Each turn

A choice you make

Each twist

The noose

Around your neck

Either Slackens

Or tightens

Without respite

No way out

Of the maze

Living with the choices

You make

Or dying for them

Whether the heart

Or the mind

You follow

You are twice martyred

And you believe

You have lived.
