One special day we stood
together alone on Cromer
Beach, where December sun
bathed skin stung by wind
from a familiar bloody
sea.
Side of fresh salmon - Kir
Royale the apéritif - stylish
in every respect - waiting
back at the cottage to
bless another occasion
of friendship thicker
than water.
Yet in many years to follow,
neither card nor present
exchanged; for now
beyond reach, I know
not how to find you.
(for Keith)
