Posted on Sun, 25 Jan 2015
A lot of concentrated vivid images here, and memories, and the contrast of attitudes to danger and hurts. Specially liked the first verse, and the lines about the moss. Rhiannon

Interesting cameo of bright memories, a bit like Jolono's recent 'Under a London Sky' memories of the beginning of a courtship. I liked ''Occasion marked: Us and 'Coat-hanger tourists' too. The Brolga Dance certainly sounded...
