wonder
how you are today.
You are this being growing
alongside us
born
with the first ember
going out in a river-bank fire
3000 years ago.
We´ve fed you,
nurtured you
with prayers of voice, offal, step
and song
we´ve mythologized you
(not a good word to say
in cockney)
with Londinium,
the Smoke, LondOn
and
become denizens
instead of citizens
cells
moving within you
singers who are song
singing
London
