Journey No. 3 - mandela


the early morning train spills
me out at euston
and
from there
it's but a brief trip by tube to westminster

big ben stands proud
in mist
and on the opposite corner of Parliament Square
a simple statue
lies
wreathed in flowers

he holds
hands
aloft
beckoning us
from death
to believe there can be a different way
