cheers Ray - it's weird where these NapoWriMo prompts take you - this was an actual dream I had many years ago - and it was both comforting and threatening in equal measure. The older man is me looking back on it now - so I've added a fourth character to the dream ? Hope you are well mate ?

A sense of the unknown pervades this with its background of familiarity to the poet, and gives us an ache for resolution. It reminds me of a cinematic distancing effect, especially as the subsequent experience is still in the past. The cleverness of it is in the unresolved wonder. A powerful piece of writing Ian. I crave good poetry and you don't disappoint. I first read of the ginnel in Alan Bennett's autobiography. These alleys I have explored myself on my musical jaunts, one in particular in Brighouse near the canal. Super all round.
Stay safe!

Ray
