Scarborough donkeys ...

When my body was made of smoke I'd read The Wisdom of Donkeys - 

I was consoled by their teachings whilst I walked between two worlds - 

I remembered Gribouille's calm dark eyes when I saw the Scarborough donkeys - 

They were waiting for kind words, standing there upon the sands - 

The rain stung our eyes - 

Families took refuge in Olympia Leisure - 

A girl with an umbrella stood next to the donkeys - 

She watched me stroke their gentle heads - 

I wanted to throw my arms around their necks - 

I felt the weight of their ancient suffering - 

I wanted to give back to them tenfold what they'd gifted me -
