All of our former beauty ...

We walked past The King of Trainers -

Mobility scooters whispered through the precinct -

Once inside Beales, we lost time amongst the lambs wool and the fragrances -

A man who could have been Mr Polly sold sofa beds -

Spooky mannequins guarded the entrances to the fitting rooms -

Anne bought me a jumper -

I gazed at myself in the full length mirror -

What secrets mirrors held, I thought -

All of our former beauty -

Then the shapes to come -
