In graphite, artist signature.Poetry by Geoff Gunby [black text reads] Count the stars - black sun rising- above a fuming mercury sea - where the silvered waves bow down -to your awful majesty - then as the dawn begins to fail- the day grows dark as pre-ordained- i cast my words upon a beach of death -and count the stars in pain
