'Death, you’re vain; incurable'

This month, TATE ETC. in collaboration with Eggbox Publishing brings you Vahni Capildeo's poem 'Death' based on J M W Turner's work Death on a Pale Horse. 

Is this really you? Riding for a fall? The cataloguers are unsure it’s not just some other

horseman — I want it to be really you. So long as I can tell rose from fire, love from

sickness, word from dust. I am tender of you.
