DIARY: Like a beacon

Finished another one. Despite being sick.

Like a Beacon

In London
every now and then
I get this craving
for my mother's food
I leave art galleries
in search of plaintains
saltfish/sweet potatoes

I need this link

I need this touch
of home
swinging in my bag
like a beacon
against the cold
Grace Nichols (b. 1950)
