Pigeon Street

 

Day Twenty

If you listened to this place

If your mouth did not devour all breath

Perhaps every voice would condemn

Your dream, your need, your body, your future

Every day

If you listened to this place

If you silenced something of your self

Here are the lives that all might breathe

Here are the voices that might declare

Their dreams, their needs, their bodies, their futures

And you would see that by beating hearts, hearts beat

You would see that in beating hearts, hearts beat

And you might find your heart beats

Pigeon Street was a BBC children's TV series in the 1980s. The words to the very cool theme tune went like this:

If you lived in Pigeon Street,
Here are the people you could meet,
Here are the people who would say
Hello, Goodbye, Hello, Goodbye
Every day

If you lived in Pigeon Street,
Here are the people you could meet,
Here are the people who would share
the sights, the sounds, the air
Where pigeons beat their wings, wings beat.
Pigeons beat their wings, wings beat
to meet in Pigeon Street
