Proud of my friend and client @JohnV_LEON, and all the @leonrestaurants team, for their unwavering commitment to the NHS. Our amazing healthcare workers deserve nourishing food, served with love. ❤️
Here’s your patch of sky
and here the ground below you.
Here is a window,
walls, ceiling and floor.
Here is a self to play with
when you get bored. Read
the enormous map
that is yours for exploring
with the dense language
that will grow wild now.
