Liver & Lights No 57.
One Shoe Michael; a London song cycle.
Coming Very Soon!!!
A full colour paperback containing
the complete cycle of texts and song lyrics
written by Mickey; his view of the world, his friends, his journey, our city.
The book is profusely illustrated in full colour by Mickey’s ongoing collection of
lovingly rendered glove paintings and other illuminations from the brush of
John Bently.
“For the last year I have been working on a cycle of interrelated lyrics that
seem to have have been written by the mythical One Shoe Mickey,
a former refugee who has somehow found his way to England.
Mickey believes that London’s dropped gloves are the souls of all the sons, daughters,
wives, mothers, nephews, lovers, friends and kind strangers etc lost on all the long and
desperate roads emmanating from the war that never ends.
He thinks he can somehow reunite and mend them all,
the lost and broken things of the world.
Among the gloves he seeks the One True G’love,
that may or may not relate to his own
lost family. Maybe it is the Universal G’love,
containing the last secret of the universe.
Mickey makes many friends here in England,
as he trudges from dawn til dusk around the city,
some most unexpected, and they all have
their stories too and Mickey is the boy to tell them”.
"Here is his meagre vittles, but all he meets can share it
and how the one true glove will bind them all,
for all can wear it."
