Effigy

When it's all over
they can carve us
side-by-side
one hand subtly lain
across the other
and maybe a couple
sheltering from the rain
will stop and look
and offer a thought
before passing along

I like this a lot. There's something in the lingering, if only for the casual interest of strangers.

Thanks EB. Lending someone a moment in time, place and memory. A moment with the potential to be infinite. Who cares what the sculptor intended? Who cares what the subject thought?

Many years more to come yet, Parson. You have much more road to cover.  But it is a lovely thought.

Thanks Rich. You also. Many adventures and countless conversations over the top of a freshly-filled glass. Let's all drink to that. Kev
