David Falkner's limited edition sticker, Pedestal I, can be seen in the window of Sunrise, in St John's Street, Bury St Edmunds. Having found the sticker, visitors can ask inside for one of the edition, along with a groving booklet. www.sunrisedirect.co.uk Hail, o tufted composite glamour-Queen against your chess-board wall. You bouffant Mistress of balance taking a monumental risk, standing there everso slightly askew on your, frankly dodgy, picnic-throne; your altar to impermanence. “Oi! Get down, Bev! He ain’t looking at you. Get down! He can still only see the top of your head!…Honestly! What’s she like!” Lynn Whitehead Your picture’s buried in my garden, Faded image of the people who’ve left, Solitary idols, suburban flies, Underneath my bed, only aspidistra lies. Your name grows restless in the earth, So lay me in the ground at twilight’s rise, Let the grass grow, sorry soul, Death to nostalgia, green totem pole.
