I am often here. Outside the small cafe. When it rains I like to watch light dancing across cobbles and over grass before it slips into the waiting grey. This is where it all gets out of hand. The place where things lose any pretence of containment. A place where anything goes and is unlikely to return in three score years. Outside the small cafe it rains. The waiting grey is calling over grass and cold cobbles.Calling light down from vacated tables. It’s promise of blue skies where it leaves land behind is untested. Tony Noon

The Waiting Grey
I am often here. Outside the small cafe. When it rains I like to watch light dancing across cobbles and over grass before it slips into the waiting grey. This is where it all gets out of hand.
