Church Copse by John Piper
Could be wallpaper, the way the image repeats – it's the width of a roll ... and see how the church looms through the trees, appears again and again, black windows, dripping, blotches, and these streams of green, or vines, or veins, falling ... Suppose it were on our walls ...
Darling, I've found the spookiest wallpaper for the bedroom, a church deep in the forest dark and spiky with veins of green ...
John Froy
'What would it be like to live with bedroom wallpaper like this? I wonder.'
John Froy is a poet and memoirist. He comes from a family of painters, was one for a while, then moved to the written word.
