Jonathan Steffen
Like regrets drifting through consciousness, They glide through the streets of our cities, Untouchably themselves, Silently intent on their purpose, Counting eternities with each corner they turn.
Take a butcher’s red by Goya And an arctic blue by El Greco. Gently fold in an agonised beige by Grunewald
He left his sparrows waiting at the door And entered like a draught, his bare feet treading
