All Roads Lead To Seven Sisters (1)
All Roads Lead To Seven Sisters (2)
(3)
One day when I walk the Seven Sisters Road
alone, I will see everyone
that I have ever known, and everyone that I
will ever meet in my various little lives
they’ll all combine and line
the street, here, where inertia
grows on trees, where a boy got killed
over a just-shy gram of coke, where the inhabitants
are broke but the system is broker, where I saw my
third dead body in the back of a Vauxhall Nova,
where Papa carried me to the football on his
denim-clad shoulders, my story will be laid out clear
for me here, for this, this is home
and it will always be
but I’ve got a long way to go
to get to where I’m meant to be.

Whenever I went down there
You would always say,
“Try not to get stabbed!”
It had always been a very real possibility
But now it’s no longer funny.
You are the female London Bukowski and you’re so much more. You make me want to return there, you paint is the way it really is and always has been. You’re timeless because of that. And everything.

I’ll be there in Dec I think I have to go there and visit my mom also in France. My dad lives in London right now (Vauxhall) I used to live relatively near to Seven Sisters so I totally related to your work but guess what, you could write from the moon and I’d get it. That’s just how far you go beneath my skin.
