At the Bring and Share

Slyly uncorking a Merlot - 

Gazing about me -


These bottles of red -

Slices of quiche -


The retired vicar's neat beard -

The young MP -

Hearing the slightly tipsy laughter -

The shared names -


Moving through the well mannered house -

Like being a ghost amongst these worthies -

These former comrades -

Lucinda's house

Swanage
