Ref. your recommendations for our non-walkers. The more energetic your vocabulary became the more exhausted my options became (steep slopes, towers above the town, steps, terraces, upland, upwards, high above the town....)

they can be used to coat the kippers for yer next meal.

Re: To see you
Hi Virginia
The word 'surreptitious' is the only word in this that jars for me. I think it takes from the mood.
Again you've created a really atmospheric piece.
I'd look forward to more, but that seems exploitative because they're all so sad.

Another moving vignette, Virginia.

Re: Downstairs
Hi Virginia
I have been reading your poems as you submit them.
I find them intriguing.
It's like following a serialized story.
Do you mean for each to stand alone or might they eventually merge?
