and remembered, what you long...

London
Shoreditch clung to its ruin
Its roughhewn gate staring out at corpses
And the clutch of travellers heading from the fields,
The shepherds rambling onwards,
The herders with their slow-moving cattle, hoofs
Thudding on the stones. Amongst them the knights...

Even that; my thoughts seeming simple
even then it lacks luster given by you-

Kristy and the Conch Shell
Along some bank of ambiguity.
Isolated while in wonder,

Consequently, I preferred to be someplace different.
