The Warmest Skies

Summer skies around the world

Lancaster, 2016

Keep crying

Clean the sins

Of infested lands

Congested life

Shattered dreams

But he sells sandwiches and juice

tea and biscuits

A brown chocolate man

moulded with softness 

on a Virgin train

From the north to the south

To the heart of London

No bridge is falling

But new bridges are built

Reaching the warmest skies.
