LINEN For two weeks now in this rented room we’ve sweated together, our every move only serving to fan the flames as they died, two fish out of water, panting and fevered, desperate for what little air the shuttered windows allow. I dream of what’s to come: two linen sheets we’ve put aside to make a bed, one as crisp as any service we might have paid for, two cool linen sheets for us to unfold, snap into place, a bed for us to lie in and to dream in, that new correctness against the skin, like a field of stubble crossed against the grain when the sun is shrouded in surmise. Two white linen sheets as cold as autumn.

Never heard of Miss Mary's walk, although I have walked to Hesleden via the cycle track.
And, like you, when I was a lad, any sign of a derelict building & I was in! At least we lived to tell the tale!

Thanks for stopping by my profile Tony. I'm glad you enjoyed 'Tinder Tango'!
Can you tell me more about the inspiration behind 'Linen'? I love your words—somewhat cryptic and still expressive.
Your doggy is gorgeous. Rescue dog I hear? Aren't you a blessing.
Have a wonderful day.
Best wishes,
Rasa
