| Midnight Graffitti |
| by Katie Graham |
| I found myself in an underpass at Midnight
under the City of Glasgow I'd lost my purse, my phone and my friends and this was the only way home I saw a newly whitewashed wall Wiped clean of graffitti it looked like a page All lit up with Orange light I couldn't resist I knew what I had to do I got out my eyeliner pencil and I wrote out a poem I told the walls about the things I wanted About the things I couldn't have And About the love I hadn't found. I said if you understand this poem then sign your name underneath sign it without love if you want because I knew not everyone had enough to give away Then I forgot I forgot for 2 months and then 2 months later I was walking home again But I wasn't alone this time I was with people I loved and they noticed the wall all covered in graffiti I was about to walk past and think what a mess but then I looked carfully and my heart filled with joy Every inch of the wall was covered in comments all signed with love Love they'd found to spare Impermanent Love Because Graffitti never lasts but love all the same from people I'll never know |
