When a city
loses its focus,
and can’t be seen
for what it once was,
what are its occupants to do?
Higgledy-piggledy the little piggies go,
carefully tripping over unseen obstacles,
and seeking things they do not know.
The one or two ‘lucky’ ones
that retain their sight,
see such calamities,
that cannot be put right.
Bill Masen was one,
Josella another;
their paths crossing
led to salvation for each other.
Although not straightforward,
with life plot twists and woe,
it takes a deal of anguish
for a complete bond to grow.
And the blind lead the blind,
to see what next they can find.
