And it was not until my homeward train was on its way,
our meeting receding into a past of its own, that the clouds parted
and what I had taken for a flying cliché
showed itself as a bird of a quite different feather.

standing alone in the centre of the room with a warm seat.
Not read much Didsbury but this is wonderful Mike
