LOCKED

Chris R-0167-2 Image by Christine Renney

Who is this masked marvel
This vagrant spider being
Scaling four storeys of sheer brick
For a junk mail and newspaper nest
Cold and dank and dark
Beneath it televisions
Hundreds upon hundreds
Of televisions glow
A lively hum and thrum
In a concert of disconnect

  3. A superb photo Christine, among my faves of yours. And the image dances so well with the poem, both speaking of alienation. “…In a concert of disconnect.”… sums it up and it’s an image of horror to me.
