Sweetness By Fiona Goodwin
It’s a parcel on my doorstep from you who has never met me, It’s a Facebook photo of brave women laughing and loving No longer virtual, It’s Pasquale my neighbour by my car asking “Please can I help, that looks heavy.” It’s the Italian and the Qatari Jumping for their lives, And with one will…
