WHERE WE FIND LIGHT

We had dates

And showed off  the secrets on  our palms

Made way for the rain 

With the yell of our bangles

And our mothers' heads came

Swivelling through the front door

We had cakes with God

To mark the poetries on our foreheads

Then threw pillows at our neighbours

Whilst dipping our legs in the puddle

A girl had smashed her tankard

And made homes from a piece
