The Mosaic Remains: poems and images from Leicester's Cultural Quarter

Page 12

Conservation roman medieval core; Potential remains rather than habitation The coin refuses roman sites cannot Rule out pottery kiln intact. His hands sealing like a cellophane bag The ancient architecture. Gargoyles from bullets and bombs Shows garnish posters on curved walls And knotted trees, shattered glass Splinters my feet I pick a memory like a rare photo Hate has at its core a heart of granite Climb the parapet walls of pride
