A really good poem, Stephen. Evocative and mysterious.

Thanks Julie. I'd be interested to see which track that TV drama would take. Could be right up my street!
And Aviva ? glad I've made your mind 'float', which must be a good thing! And, yes, spilling it down your throat is acceptable. Much better than over the carpet!

Reading this I imagine the start of a tv drama. I’m left wondering which direction the story would take. Wonderful as always.

I've been put to thinking all sorts of things because of this poem, which catches a familiar whimsy so well, that I've been thinking of your version of this and my own peeks at the unknown past and the unknown future (and how I never seem to spill wine doing it but I probably should give that a try, sounds fun - not the spilling but the trying (I'm planning to fail at that and just succeed at the drinking) - although, does spilling the wine down the throat count?) - yes as you can see my mind is now floating about all over the place and it is all because of this poem. Thanks.

Thanks Stephen, glad you enjoyed it. The idea came from a memory of our first home, which was a Victorian terraced built in 1900. On the 1st night I stopped there, while I was fixing it up, I was sat in the armchair, left by the previous owner, having a sly glass or 2 in front of the coal fire & for a moment, out the corner of my eye, I thought I saw a door in the middle of a side wall. But when I turned, of course, it was just a solid wall. Anyway, something triggered that memory & this is the result! Thanks again for the comment & Like
