Well it's a Old Town

SHOREDITCH

London

                       Sunday 17 June 2012. Shoreditch London.

                  

It felt uncomfortable to walk out on to the street, and not see
familiar buildings, land marks that had been there over a century,
that was the feeling, unexpected bewilderment.
As the new face of the city pushes its massive sleek engineered
Crystal towers sky would,
 The surrounding deprivation awaiting its injection, of societies
drug, money. Meanwhile the pop up shops,
small time street traders scratching a living out of next to nothing
and the wannabe entrepreneurs make it a lively relaxed
community with hope.

Spirits of Green

A ghostly apparition from the underworld,
spirits of past vegetation,
a albino Nasturtiums ?

I looked again in wonder at the very delicate structure,
it looked like lace, some sort of fungi,
it only lasted in my garden a few hours before toppling over and wilting.
