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.
