a brick wall
cracked and ancient
strength of Ivy

As I read this, it brings all kinds of visions to mind. Largely of my father, who was a kind of cross between organic matter and concrete - much like the wall you describe here. Thank you Charles, for bringing him back to me in a new way. Mari

Dear Charles: Lovely fragment here. All the best then, Leon.
