I found a missing angel today
he asked me for a ***
& then walked away
in rain and snow he has
nowhere to go
& he sleeps beneath
the endless stars
each night his lullaby
is the sound of passing
cars & the voices going by
he likes the girls
he likes the noise
he hides his wings
beneath his shirt
he sings & smiles
amidst the dirt
he dines
on the night air
& hope
my missing angel
of the North

This poem is about a homeless man from Manchester, John who sleeps rough on the streets of my town...
