Shift
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Mind revealing psychedelic dove
Expansion of consciousness into that of love
Maker, creator, leader, angel from above
At a party around a woodenstove
On a beach within the mangrove
Somehow to give hold of
The things they were neglectful of
Though that thing they felt the world of
They remained reminiscent of
Self characterisation of
Poetry of unlove
