"coming up powell street into the rising sun
me feeling soft and gentle as an old lady who has done no wrong
who gave birth to children like butter
and kept them alive in apple trees
who took them all swimming in the one big sea
and now has been set free
to enter her City"
me feeling soft and gentle as an old lady who has done no wrong
who gave birth to children like butter
and kept them alive in apple trees
who took them all swimming in the one big sea
and now has been set free
to enter her City"
-- from "Greenstone Cove," Backup to Babylon
