The beauty of the light
painting the river in colour
buildings in spectral decoration
celebration and jubilation
Crossing the bridge walk past another
on cardboard bedding
a cardboard appeal
cardboard cup collecting
donations of conscience
a plea with watery eyes
a pale face with no home
we choose to ignore
unable to face the failure
bury the shame
let the party begin.
