coming and going

full moonrise over Stanstead

jet plane silhouettes

***

breakfast in Berlin

strong coffee and a pastry

watching world go by

***

dappled autumn light

in Jewish cemetery

leaves fall on gravestones

***

thousands of people

walking the course of the wall

the past remembered

*

between east and west

a schizophrenic city

a line on a map

*

light shining into

dark corners of history

casting long shadows

*

the questions they ask-
is the world a better place?
are we happier?

*

who was my neighbour?
did I really know my friends?
could they be trusted?

*

photographs taken
something to show somebody
to say we were there

*

drink to the future -
the bad old days are over
the past is erased
