The Leaven
![The Leaven](/content/images/size/w1200/2024/06/The-leaven.png)
The kingdom of heaven is like
a marimba ringtone in a hushed cinema
blackcurrant squash in a glass of water
a blood red sock in a bright white load
full-beam headlights down a late night road
cake-baking wafts through every room
a jangly busker in a heads-down busy town
a lone kind voice on an angry call
the first graffiti on a pristine wall
The kingdom of heaven is
a flavour changer
an atmosphere infuser
a day-to-day life shaper
a character percolator
a soul saturater
a culture inverter
a world transformer
a life rebirther
The kingdom of heaven is like
the leaven
permeating
every part of the dough.
