Cape Of Good Hope

By Paul Cameron Brown

Poltergeist activity - the sun winding like a staircase onto the pavement, rickety afternoon shooting back thru shawls of the city. Tippy-toe. Curtains ajar, a face at the cross-roads looking, looking for all the world as pavement stones, greasy & black, a thin oiled compliment to Mrs. Blight registered at Old Inn Road.
