With Bacon’s Eyes

Widowed pebbles
Littering the sands
Of Stanley beach
Seem to stare in sorrow

Imagined faces
Worn and fragmented
Mourning the separation
Of abrasive love

With Bacon’s Eyes by Jane McAulay Wilson

I was was walking along the beach at Stanley, Hong Kong one day when I saw a pepble that made me think of a Francis Bacon portrait.
