    Text
    Freight song / 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- / Judith Kazantzis (b.1940) / Reprinted by permission of Enitharmon from Swimming Through the Grand Hotel (1997) / UNDERGROUND / Poems on the Underground / 10th Edition Cassell / LONDON ARTS / The British Council / THE POETRY SOCIETY / www.poetrysoc.com / Poster are available from teh Poetry Society 0207420 9894 and London's Transport Museum, Covent Garden / Poster design by Tom Davidson
