Oil on canvas 2011 – 72″ x 60″

One day a man lay down in a busy street.
He was tired. Tired of life, and empty from love lost.
At first the crowds ignored him – quickening their pace through the rain.

A child pulled away from her mother.
She sat down beside him on the wet street.
“Come away!” called the mother – and snatched up the child.
Young men ran past laughing.
An old man tugged at his dog as it sniffed the man’s feet.

Eventually they came to carry the man off.
The ground was dry where he had lain.
But soon the rain had washed all trace away,
And the crowds closed in to fill his emptiness.
