Freight Song - Judith Kazantzis

[Mat]

This is my favourite poem of all time:



Freight Song - Judith Kazantzis

'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 -'
