Saturday morning, a bird tweets a whistling tune across the silent street In this empty city missing it's people that usually stream in from the suburbs down the line and pulsate along platforms and down steps - and populate along the riverbank where the muddy sediment rises, stirs and surges towards the football ground, on this September day, with a beating heart, of course and a flourishing banter amongst the tides of angst, fervour, hope... Colour and song - it should have awashed the fevered crowd. Saturday morning a bird tweets a whistling echo across the silent street in my city missing its people, today.

Saturday morning,
a bird tweets
a whistling tune across the silent street
In this empty city
missing
it's people
that usually stream
in from the suburbs
down the line
and pulsate
along platforms
and down steps
- and populate along the riverbank
where the muddy sediment
rises, stirs and surges
towards the football ground,
on this September
day,
with a beating heart, of course
and a flourishing banter
amongst the tides of angst,
fervour, hope...
Colour and song
- it should have awashed
the fevered
crowd.
Saturday morning
a bird tweets a whistling echo across the silent street
in my city missing its people,
today.
