Crucifixion

written by: Robin McNamara

Francis Bacon (Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion) © Francis Bacon

Sallow-faced artist in the making,
Where overthought styles roam
Bourgeoisie London—
Artists are a penny.

In Wildean style with a gentle stroke
Of that brush— comes the sun:
It is burnt orange.
The crucifixion of an illicit religion.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Inspired by Francis Bacon’s 'Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion'

P.C. Darkcliff

When he was in kindergarten, P.C. managed to convince his classmates that his grandma was a tribal shamaness. Then he learned his letters, and kidding his friends no longer seemed adequate—so he started to write. P.C. has published two standalone novels, Deception of the Damned and The Priest of Orpagus, and his stories have been featured in various publications. His latest novel, Celts and the Mad Goddess, is the first installment of The Deathless Chronicle. He has lived in six countries and on three continents. While it burned a hole in his bank account, the seminomadic lifestyle has inspired most of his stories and novels. P.C. has settled with his wife in southern Spain, where he goes swimming and cycling whenever he isn’t too busy writing stories and teaching English.
