I’d known something was wrong, even before opening the doorto see this upstanding pillar of the establishmentpolitely take his hat in hand.The formality of his stance,buttons glistening in the rainwhose drops shivered goosebumps on my skin.The uniform told its story before his words.As, in the chill, my heart lagged a beatbeneath the night’s shroudthe world beyond slept on unawares.© Sheila Ash, 2017Posted 21stMay 2017ashramblings
