'Tyne Cot' by Jan Theuninck

Jan Theuninck (born 7 June 1954), is a Belgian painter and poet. Although born in Zonnebeke, Belgium,and a native speaker of Dutch, he also writes in French and English. His painting is abstract, falling somewhere between minimalism and monochrome expressionism. His work in both media is guided by his social and political convictions, dealing with topics such as colonialism old and new, mass and society, and pacifism.




Tyne Cot

when you left
for the front
you were
living heroes
and now
you are on top
of the hill
where only
poppies

blow...

HARP

Reach for the sparrow
Avoid the shadows of commerce
Paint goodwill in forgetting
The arcane, and make flowers
Reel like harps upon the wind
