The email:
I'm working on a project with my friend, and colleague, Laura Robinson ....We both work  in Leeds City Art Gallery in Leeds, Yorkshire and the next exhibition is called "Something of the Night" .... I am writing to ask you if I could have your permission to use your poem
"Stone Heart," as it fits in well with the city at night theme and it's a great poem.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
Sarah Fellows
Stone Heart
  stone heart
  of the city
  stars and
  street lamps
  warring
  for night
  eyes like
  wildcats
  screaming
  street calls
  drunken men
  ghosts
  like homeless
  men
  poets
  painting
  their souls
  on crumbling
  walls
  mumbled
  nightmares
  rising
  from the neon
  shadows
  ache
  of asphalt
  and stone
