I hope one day you get this.
When you ponder the shape of another person.
That charm and probing glance.
Reconstructing some fleeting gesture
As you rescue an event from a leaking memory,
And then
You find that very entity materialises
Beside you, Poof!
a visualisation that becomes a sudden actuality.
“Fancy meeting you here…”
Oh but I do.
Then the church was crumbling
Onto worshippers and tourists alike.
Now it offers a different salvation
With a billboard face of Bear Grylls.
