MY GOD, MY GOD...
Brett Whiteley, Artist and Addict (1939-1992)


This wine-dark sea, this spoon of liquid love,
caressed by flickers from a candle stub,
now sirens sweetly. Music soars to fill
the empty chambers of my heart. My pulse
explodes and snaps each rope. Undone, I fall
between the creaking Rock and this hard place.

My wrist is taken, quickly hammered down,
and blood-filled branches hold like crowns of thorn.

I search around in vein. God bless my arm.
A modern Christ of Chemicals I am
who celebrates both eucharist-inject
and transubstantiation in his art.
My sheets will be a canvas here tonight;
tomorrow, I’ll be Brett the Resurrect.
