Square, peopled sea;
tables filling, emptying; waves.
on to hear Phantom's woes, forget theirs,
elsewhere, flicker of red, blue, white
flitting about, posing, earning, living.
Tea, ignored, grew thick-skinned, dark
As I stared, unseeing, till…
A board 'Free hugs', a face belying description.
Tempted, by faceless acceptance of it,
my body rose, mind lagging in shock.
Would i feel desperation of ones before me?
Halfway there, legs came to standstill,
a woman and a cherub availed a hug.
Icy stream ran down my marrow,
Baby lotion, milky mouth, sweet breath
I staggered back, womb dripping tears,
Falling fast in Fibonacci sequence.
