Analysis of Canary yellow
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Little baby your face is like childhood friendship.
Glitter trickles from your nose like a dribble of light from your mouth.
Beads of sweat shine like a million diamonds sparkling in a shop window.
Canary yellow wax candles fall from your ears and are caught by a nightly procession on flying carriages to be taken to your first midnight mass.
