Signed by a Snail
In a landscape of poster paint
they gather in the centre,
their droppings betraying their route.
Black at the tank I left open,
multi-coloured in the pile of artworks
where Miss Irwin found them.
Their wet mouths have premasticated the edges,
digested holes in mini Pollocks,
chewed over the next Rothko,
re-arranged a Picasso-in-waiting.

Full and sated they retract. A herd huddled in Year 4’s work.
Silvered slime trails webbing the brush strokes.
Every painting graffiti’d in the course of a night.
Signed by a snail.
