INTO THE LIGHT:

The Edgelanders smiled, one to another,the happiness at 
their re-union spread throughout the crowd gathered around
the hole to the sky. Bleary eyes & kisses, sleeping rough
up the walls of planes with a stale taste in the mouth &
salty skin, but nothing could dampen their tangible joy 
at the prospect of doing what they loved – talking dogs, 
playing boggle & peddling goodvibes in another beautiful city. 
Today it’s Barcelona, one’ve the finest cities in the world
for marks & scratches, the home of Antoni Tapies, his building
topped with a cascade of razor wire, a memory of River Road 
Dagenham, filming the Outer Edges in a freezing wind, 
photographing discarded garments & loving every second. 
Today The Edglanders stepped out into the warm embrace of 
summer sunlight & smiled, one to another, the happiness in 
this moment made all the better by the shared experience 
of it as it spread out around them like the pink satin halo of 
a Christo wrapped island.
