if God was an Englishman | poetry series (6)

I want lighthouses, I want birds, I want miracles.

I want Syria to be okay, I want the bombs to destroy themselves and nothing else.

I want us to learn from history.

Even me. 

I want you. I want fragments of diary entries, I want flowers, I want gold letter boxes, and the arch of your back.

I want a boat trip to the end of the sea. 

I want rain, I want long dusty streets.

I want poetry, I want dancers, I want crackly radios, old c-ds.

I want stars, the light that they give when it’s too dark to see anything but them.

I want a bit more light trickling down from dark corners

I want it to fix the world
