Highgate

Sunkissed
Feeling like a cute king
On my polo island
In a gently, rustling morning
With gold in the green, of green in the teal

Through my peripheral vision

Across the water, further sovereign stations
Each receive their share of diary entries  
as per our intercontinental agreement -
That all things must pass!

For we are not feathered therapists, Jack
We are the lightness of being
