Radio presenter, poet, event host and workshop facilitator

Birmingham

Urban girl,

with concrete curves

and pavement skin.

The city streets

her body’s veins.

The traffic flow’s

her chi.

She exhales diesel perfumed air.

Inner city worship

Bacchus and balti.

This weekend’s weapons:

stilettos and silicon.

Her dawn chorus echoes

With blue sirens and street sweepers.

Insomnia breaks.

Her urban bliss.
