Her smiles
broad but nervous
stealing glances around
then rummage through her purse – checking,
that’s when
a scream from deep inside erupts
despair arrives after –
no sign of it,
vanished

The purse came back through the post eventually, but the day in London was spent proving to the bank who I was and getting some money to purchase a train ticket home. So much for the day out – huh!
