Polaroids: Curious Animals Triptych

Polaroids: Curious Animals Triptych
[Polaroid SLR 680 – Expired Impossible Project colour film]

I took these polaroids of preserved animals at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow.

Eagerly stripping
Away emotions – Smothered
Beneath the bell jar

We talk about death
Seriocomically
Burying the hurt

freaks-2

Hushed voices discuss
The past, present & future
As the screws loosen

I was just cleaning
the inside of my oven
and fell back asleep
