Poem 999
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
999
What's the emergency?
In need of rescue!
Which service please?
Devine intervention!
Can you explain what happened please?
Life!
Are you in a safe place to talk?
Yes!
Is anyone seriously injured?
No!
Why are you calling?
To see if you have a spare part for my heart is broken!
Who broke it?
My true love!
Do you require awakening?
Yes!
