Art in the ashes

I wonder if there was art

on the walls that burnt

was there any ownership

of those walls that burnt

who owned the images on the doors

that broke

on that day


In wanting to protest and

have their voice heard

to scream in that space

to compensate for voices silenced

in retribution

was their art in the charcoal

smouldering, rubble and mess


The burnt out tree trunk

stands proud in the landscape

artwork unsigned, common property

dark stain against red earth

making protest beautiful

decay is welcomed

as remains compost

the ground.
