[for March challenge 3 – food …]

A gypsy love song
on a Sunday afternoon
came wafting through the window
into our front room

a chariot of wishes
crystallised in time
Oyster Shell Delights
Rockets made of lime

a teeth-less giant
tattling the news
stained with “Love” and “Hate”
arctic blue tattoos

pouring out a rainbow
wrapped in greaseproof paper
the outside world came down our street
disguised as a Whippy Wafer
