Meeting running
over
time
Rain threatening but groups remain
gathered outside
Supervision
on a misson
beyond trees
approached by grinning little boy
shoelaces untied and jacket tied
around his waist
a student but from the past
oddly enough
a tug on my sleeve
grin and run
like he always did
oddly enough
walking on to grand old house
empty, brick
abandoned
light area opens up, home like, table and cloth, pram, unfinished meal on window sill, half eaten porkchop and apple slice
dried but not there long
sound there, women, music, is it music?
soft voices, gentle laughter
oddly enough
door unlatched
way to leave
mown lawns, great expanse
leading to a busy highway
hidden house
oddly enough
