Description
Lunch time I wander roundthe charity shops.
Search through a sea of bobbled jumpers,
Faded print dresses, stretched & shapeless t-shirts.
Sometimes, bobbing on the waves, something catches my eye -
A Victorian mourning brooch.
A notebook with the beginning of someone written towards their end.
A silver charm bracelet, its charms - Eiffel tower, lovespoon, bagpipes - giving clues to its former owners travels.
A faded cat staring from a frame. Dinka, the back tells me. December 1977.
All unmoored from their history, their meaning separated from them.
