wall words

rmit. public art.
northcote infringement project.
northcote town hall.
june 2006.

drips thud
on the sodden earth
from the gums

above.

eloise porter made this in australia for you
brickwork on brickwork
things don't look right
will you look for me not on
the walls have ears
and eyes
a face
and scars

things look like papa's medical textbooks
men with bullet wounds to the face

top teeth
but no jaw
this is what we strive for
live for die for

things look like
shibuya station
at nine at night
but who knows
what that's like

the tide is come
we are swept away

eyes face
and scars.
