a thing sharp and lucid. Sitting lizard-like upon the base of my spine draped across my ribs in acid nostalgia. Aching. Remembering and washing away. Garema Place is an escape at least for a while. Three bikes on cobble. I feel a centring of myself like planets coming into orbit. Winter crawls in as past crawls into present and things, once done, never to be undone are merely framed and remembered. Fruits, accepted and eaten, not for tomorrow but for the day after that and after that again. Things once simple are now entangled beyond belief. But I’ve seen enough to know that the horizon is just over the next hill.
