Stranger

Walking across the bridge, over the canal, through crisp Autumn air just in time to see the great yellow moon rise above an unfamiliar part of town, I felt excitement and a hunger to walk the dark shadowy streets all night. 

When I lived here years ago, those same shadows, bridges, mills and canals, depleted me, starved me, tried to kill me.

Now they are romantic,  as though seen through the eyes of a stranger.
