Freight Song

Freight song by Judith Kazantzis (b.1940) ' We were lying, the two of us on a freight lift platform which four angels were hoisting up, their haloes journeying little by little up to blue sky. And you were stacked next to me And I was stacked alongside you like two symbiotic suitcases with labels reading: The Twilit Sky. Our sleepy lift attendants were the stars of heaven. And we were the goods- ' Reprinted by permission of Enitharmon from Swimming Through the Grand Hotel (1997)
