The Boy from the High Rise Block
by
Jude Eydmann
Entwined in poppies
Joel lies sleeping
Escaping the creeping
Seduction.
Cover your eyes
Angels who watch us
Joel has forgotten the promise.
Awaiting a freedom
For his generation
Brothers who wander
In pollen soaked clothes.
One day, you'll falter,
Fade down inthe heather,
Leaving opium fields on
Winged feet.
