Sepia scene
holding Max’s hand as he kicked along
in bright red raincoat
exclaiming at trains and pylons and ferries and puddles
everything washed new and clean and bright
Little fireman
out for a stroll in the rain
Film footage
sweeping across the span by leaps and bounds
rehearsing dance steps
barefoot exhilaration
A swan escaped from the lake
free enough to feel that
Anything was possible
Zoom into frame
The descent on the narrow staircase
Singing show tunes and
Finding that pair of abandoned heels
(Cinderella realising she may as well lose
Two if she was letting go of one)
Trying on those glass slippers and discovering
they were just my size
Walking through city streets
In someone else’s shoes
The bridge holds so many special memories. Love the photos – can just picture myself there…
