In The Mood Notting Hill Carnival 2019
Young black Aphrodites were raining on the streets
They flowed through our eyes like a tidal wave
And the undertow took away our forsaken souls
They came armed and thirsty and found us hapless
But this was only a dream, not even a mare
And we pinched ourselves blue into the next day
