Your school satchel, held together Patches; Nineties funk and grunge Smiley face and button pins Hawked across an outstretched wing To carry, witness, bare recall Diary pages, points of import First fights, kisses, letters home Bus stop partings, desert roads Haitian hotels, Paris paved Night trains, island hopping, days Dalston flown to Ha Long Bay Evenings bought by angels, saved From forgetting, shouldered through Just a patchwork bag and you
