DETATCHED
OVER DRAWN UNBUTTONED OVERCOAT
SOCKS THAT DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
UN LACED LEATHER SHOES
WELL WORN HEELS
LIKE A SINKING SHIP ABANDONED AT
THE ALTER
THE BORROWED WELLINGTONS
NO LONGER RESIDE BY MY FEET
NO COMFORT IN A TIGHT FITTING SPACE
I WALK ALONG THE DESERTED ESPLANADE
THE COLD RESTING ON MY BREATH
NEVER KNOWING WHAT WAS FOR DINNER
