I am hoping to find a whole wild field of poppies for the ultimate in inspiration, but so far I only find them behind bars, beautifying a rubbish heap. I couldn’t get any closer. They find something beautiful to say even in sad corners. So here we go, in an olympic jump from the soul of the earth into the cyber ether, from trash and bars to honesty, passion and power, here’s an earth smile in brightest scarlet just for you
