Saturday
Lettie Mckie
This morning red brick buildings
leant against the blue sky
and as the wind bit my cheeks
I eagerly swung my arms.
I launched myself into flight
like the birds, black arrows in the sky
soared above the common
soaking up the Saturday runners
the Saturday fathers
the Saturday freedom
bacon and eggs.
