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.
