This is a poem from Voices 2, one of the poetry anthologies we learnt from in my primary school. This would have been around the time of Enoch Powells Rivers of Blood speech. It looks like were heading the same way again. First of the Migrants First of the migrants, overnight they say Naz flew into London. She will glide no more Vivid as a rainbow through this door With her sketch-book under an arm. Today, Missing her small step, one imagines The rainbow sari in a Georgian square Painting the wind; bus-queues turning to stare At a bird of Paradise among pigeons. Jon Stallworthy Poet and Professor Jon Stallworthy died 10 days ago. RIP.
