a plot of land inside me

National Poetry Day on Thursday, and the theme this year is 'refuge' ...

... thus; here's one of the many wonderful 'quatrains ', as taken from Lemn Sissay's recently published volume:

---

I will build an embassy
In your heart over time
There's a plot of land inside me
Build one in mine

---

Lemn Sissay (1967 - )
