Knickerbocker Circus 018: B&P The Church & Alley

Rachael Krasnova took me to document what I had only written about.  "While we're there, I have to show you this place I found." She said as we crossed the street. 

"And I have to show you the alley where I'd run off with Brian."

We couldn't find either until both of us looked across the road.  "I have a feeling it's over there.  My memory isn't so good." I told her.

We crossed the street and entered the alley.  "This is it!" I yelled and ran over to the graffiti strewn walls.  I draped my arms over them.  "I remember these.  I was here.  We were here.  This is where we came." 

She took a few shots and stepped forward.  "This is it!" She yelled.  "The alley I wanted to bring you to, with the secret staircase covered in ivy."

This happens a lot.  When lives parallel without meaning too.  We take the same streets with years passing between those steps.  Our memories imprinted in those alleys, in the air, and on the brick.  She takes a few pictures.  'Funny how these things work out in the end."

I'll build my world around you
I'll bless the day that I found you
I'll stand beside you, I'll never leave
Or tell you all those lies
That you'd never believe
I want to be haunted by the ghost
I want to be haunted by the ghost
I want to be haunted by the ghost
I want to be haunted by the ghost
Of your precious love
Of your precious love

Haunted- The Pogues
