This is a short poem by Daljit Nagra:

Raja’s Love Song

 

All the girls say they love me
all their mums say I’m lovely —
ever since I lived in the clouds.

 

Ever since you left me
I’ve been raining on the road
where you first said you loved me . . .

    Nice to see bits of it are at one of the university colleges (Hild Bede)! Just in time for the returning students, too…
